ESV 1 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; NIV 1 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, ESV 2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. NIV 2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. ESV 3 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. NIV 3 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. ESV 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. NIV 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. ESV 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; NIV 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. ESV 6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. NIV 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
