Psalm 1:6

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

knows-more than awareness, this is intimate, personal knowledge (NSB note)
the way-John 14:6. See also Proverbs 2:8; 4:19. "He guards the paths of justice and prserves the way of His saints." "The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble." Two ways are contrasted. Which way is better? The choice should be obvious.

NSB note: God is intimately involved with the way of the righteous, but has no connection with the way of the ungodly, except in judgment. See Psalm 146:9: "the way of the wicked He turns upside down."
