People:
Blessed are those who do not walk in the counsel of the wicked; or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on God’s law they meditate day and night. They are like trees planted by streams of water that yield their fruit in season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.
Response: Walk in the light of God’s counsel; delight in the law of the Lord. Leader: People: Leader: People:
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment; nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
