Psalms 1
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref Happy 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.
2 Ref But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
3 Ref He 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.
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
2 Ref But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 Ref And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;
2 Ref But -- in the law of Jehovah `is' his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
3 Ref And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
