1Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
2But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
3He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.
4The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
5For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,
6Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
Reina-Valera 1909
1BIENAVENTURADO el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos, ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado;
2Antes en la ley de Jehová está su delicia, y en su ley medita de día y de noche.
3Y será como el árbol plantado junto á arroyos de aguas, que da su fruto en su tiempo, y su hoja no cae; y todo lo que hace, prosperará.
4No así los malos: sino como el tamo que arrebata el viento.
5Por tanto no se levantarán los malos en el juicio, ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.
6Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos; mas la senda de los malos perecerá.
King James Version
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
World English Bible
1Blessed 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;
2but his delight is in the LORD’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.
3He 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.
4The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
