| 1How blessed is the person, who does not take the advice of the wicked, who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in the seat of mockers. | 1Blessed 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; |
| 2But he delights in the LORD's instruction, and meditates in his instruction day and night. | 2but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. |
| 3He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither. He will prosper in everything he does. | 3He 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. |
| 4But this is not the case with the wicked. They are like chaff that the wind blows away. | 4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. |
| 5Therefore the wicked will not escape judgment, nor will sinners have a place in the assembly of the righteous. | 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; |
| 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will be destroyed. | 6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. |
