“For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” (Psalm 1:6 NKJV)
“But how different it is for the righteous! The Lord embraces their paths as they move forward while the way of the wicked leads only to doom.” (Psalm 1:6 TPT)
“For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.” (Psalm 1:6 NLT)
“For the LORD knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.” (Psalm 1:6 AMP)
“For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.” (Psalm 1:6 HCSB)
“Because LORD JEHOVAH knows the way of the righteous ones and the way of the wicked shall be destroyed.” (Psalm 1:6 ABIPE)

All you need to do is stop rejecting Him and let Him into your life.
