Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New Revised Standard NRS
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
Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
2
but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they 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.
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 wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
4
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council 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 knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
6
for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
