The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
1
beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum et in via peccatorum non stetit et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit
2 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.
2
sed in lege Domini voluntas eius et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte
3 You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
3
et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo et folium eius non defluet et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur
4 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust -
4
non sic impii %non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus %a facie terrae;
5 Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.
5
ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum
6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.
6
quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum et iter impiorum peribit
