| 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. | 3And 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. |
| 4The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. | 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. |
