Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1[Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit;
1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.
2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur.
3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
4Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.
4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:
5Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.]
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
