New International Version NIV
American Standard Version ASV
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,
1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
2
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
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.
3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
4
The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
6
For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
