New International Version NIV
1 Blessed <em>is</em> the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.
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,
2 But his delight <em>is</em> in the law of the LORD, and in his law he meditates day and night.
2
but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
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.
4 The ungodly <em>are</em> not so but <em>are</em> like the chaff which the wind drives away.
4
Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
6
For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
