The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man ^{▼▼The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface}
who ^bwalks not in ^cthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^dthe way of sinners,
nor ^esits in ^fthe seat of ^gscoffers;
2 but his ^hdelight is in the law ^{▼▼Or instruction} of the Lord,
and on his ^jlaw he meditates day and night.
3 He is like ^ka tree
planted by ^lstreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its ^mleaf does not wither.
ⁿIn all that he does, he prospers.

Psalms 15

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, ^owho shall sojourn in your ^ptent?
Who shall dwell on your ^qholy hill?
2 He who ^rwalks blamelessly and ^sdoes what is right
and ^tspeaks truth in his heart;
3 who ^udoes not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor ^vtakes up a reproach against his friend;
4 ^win whose eyes a vile person is despised,
but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who ^xswears to his own hurt and does not change;
5 who ^ydoes not put out his money at interest
and ^zdoes not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be ^aamoved.
