In context

1Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of evil men.

2But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; And in his law will he meditate day and night.

— Psalms 1:3 —

4Not so the ungodly—not so: But rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
