| 1Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; | 1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! |
| 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. | 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. |
| 3He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. | 3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. |
| 4The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. | 4The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. |
| 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. | 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. |
| 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. | 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish. |
