	YLT Young's Literal Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;	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;	Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2	But -- in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:	but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.	but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3	And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.	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.	That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
4	Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away!	The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.	Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5	Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,	Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;	Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6	For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!	for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.	For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
