Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New Living Translation NLT
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:
1
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
2
But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it 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.
3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
4 Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
4
But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
5
They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
6
For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
