NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
1 Happy are those who reject the advice of evil men, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God.
2 Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night.
3 They are like trees that grow beside the stream, they bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They succeed in everything they do.
4 But evil men are not like this at all; they are like straw that the wind blows away.
5 Sinners will be condemned by God and kept apart from God's own people.
6 The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord, but the evil are on the way to their doom.
NEW INTERNATIONAL VERISON TRANSLATION
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 they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
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 But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERISON TRANSLATION
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
