For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 1 of Psalms. Psalm 1 functions as a gateway to the Psalter and establishes the fundamental contrast between two paths. The righteous are not defined simply by avoiding certain behaviors, but by orienting their lives toward the instruction of the Lord, presented as the object of continual meditation. The image of a tree planted beside streams of water expresses stability, fruitfulness, and permanence, while the chaff driven by the wind represents the fragility of a life without roots in God. The psalm concludes by connecting this contrast with divine judgment, showing that the chosen path has consequences.

Denn der HERR kennt den Weg der Gerechten; aber der Gottlosen Weg vergeht.
Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos; Mas la senda de los malos perecerá.
Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos, pero el camino de los malvados perecerá.
Car l'Eternel connaît la voie des justes, Et la voie des pécheurs mène à la ruine.
Perciocchè il Signore conosce la via de’ giusti; Ma la via degli empi perirà
Porque o SENHOR conhece o caminho dos justos; porém o caminho dos ímpios perecerá.
因為耶和華知道義人的道路, 惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
