| 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. | 2But he delights in the LORD's instruction, and meditates in his instruction day and night. |
| 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. | 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. |
| 4The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. | 4But this is not the case with the wicked. They are like chaff that the wind blows away. |
| 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. | 5Therefore the wicked will not escape judgment, nor will sinners have a place in the assembly of the righteous. |
| 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish. | 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will be destroyed. |
