אַשְׁרֵ֥י הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּעֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד וּבְמוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב׃

KJVBlessed 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.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

כִּ֤י אִ֥ם בְּתוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ יֶהְגֶּ֗ה יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה׃

KJVBut his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

וְֽהָיָ֗ה כְּעֵץ֮ שָׁת֪וּל עַֽל פַּלְגֵ֫י מָ֥יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר פִּרְי֨וֹ ׀ יִתֵּ֬ן בְּעִתּ֗וֹ וְעָלֵ֥הוּ לֹֽא יִבּ֑וֹל וְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃

KJVAnd 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.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

לֹא כֵן֮ הָרְשָׁ֪עִ֫ים כִּ֥י אִֽם כַּ֭מֹּץ אֲשֶׁר תִּדְּפֶ֣נּוּ רֽוּחַ׃

KJVThe ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

עַל כֵּ֤ן ׀ לֹא יָקֻ֣מוּ רְ֭שָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים בַּעֲדַ֥ת צַדִּיקִֽים׃

KJVTherefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

כִּֽי יוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֭הוָה דֶּ֣רֶךְ צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃

KJVFor the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
