World English Bible Classic
[1] Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
[2] but his delight is in Yahweh’s§ law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
[3] He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
[4] The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
[5] Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
[6] For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
[2] but his delight is in Yahweh’s§ law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
[3] He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
[4] The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
[5] Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
[6] For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
