Psalm 1

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:

2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

4 Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

The Message Bible MSG

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.

2 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.

3 You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.

4 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust -

5 Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.

6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.
