1 B lessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

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 B ut his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

3 H e shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

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 T he ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 T herefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 F or the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
