1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.
1

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.
2

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.
3
They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.
4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
4
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation 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 will perish.
