| 1 | Blessed 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 that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: | Beato l'uomo che non cammina nel consiglio degli empi, non si ferma nella via dei peccatori e non si siede in compagnia degli schernitori, |
| 2 | But 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 Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. | ma il cui diletto è nella legge dell'Eterno, e sulla sua legge medita giorno e notte. |
| 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. | 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. | Egli sarà come un albero piantato lungo i rivi d'acqua, che dà il suo frutto nella sua stagione e le cui foglie non appassiscono; e tutto quello che fa prospererà, |
| 4 | The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. | The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. | Non così sono gli empi; ma sono come pula che il vento disperde. |
| 5 | Therefore 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. | Perciò gli empi non reggeranno nel giudizio, né i peccatori nell'assemblea dei giusti. |
| 6 | For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. | For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalm 2 | Poiché l'Eterno conosce la via dei giusti, ma la via degli empi porta alla rovina. |
