1O 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;
1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:
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.
2But--in the law of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
2But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
3And 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.
3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
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.
4Not so the wicked: But--as chaff that wind driveth away!
4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
4The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
5Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,
5Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
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,
