Psalm 1:2-4
New International Reader's Version
Psalm 1:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy.
They think about his law day and night.
3 That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water.
It always bears its fruit at the right time.
Its leaves don’t dry up.
Everything godly people do turns out well.
4 Sinful people are not like that at all.
They are like straw
that the wind blows away.
Psalm 1:2-4
New International Version

2 but whose delight(A) is in the law of the Lord,(B)
and who meditates(C) on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree(D) planted by streams(E) of water,(F)
which yields its fruit(G) in season
and whose leaf(H) does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.(I)
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff(J)
that the wind blows away.

Psalm 1:2-4
King James Version
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And 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.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
