1Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
2But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
3He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
4The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
4The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
