1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
1 Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
