Psalms 1:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. God blesses those peoplewho refuse evil adviceand won't follow sinnersor join in sneering at God.

2. Instead, the Law of the Lordmakes them happy,and they think about itday and night.

3. They are like treesgrowing beside a stream,trees that producefruit in seasonand always have leaves.Those people succeedin everything they do.

4. That isn't true of thosewho are evil,because they are like strawblown by the wind.

5. Sinners won't have an excuseon the day of judgment,and they won't have a placewith the people of God.

6. The Lord protects everyonewho follows him,but the wicked follow a roadthat leads to ruin.
