The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
1 How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked, don't stand on the way of sinners or sit where scoffers sit!
1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 Their delight is in ADONAI's Torah; on his Torah they meditate day and night.
2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams -they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds.
3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 Not so the wicked, who are like chaff driven by the wind.
4
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 For this reason the wicked won't stand up to the judgment, nor will sinners at the gathering of the righteous.
5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For ADONAI watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.
6
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
