Psalm 11 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the path
of sinners,Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3
He will be like a tree
firmly
planted by
streams
of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its
leaf
does not wither;
And
in
whatever he does, he prospers.
4
The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6
For the
Lord
knows
the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.Slide15
