The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
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 Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits 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 he meditates 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
He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does 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 drives 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 knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
