Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Psalm 1:1-3
KJV—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. But his delight is in the law of
the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate
day and night. 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.

Amp—Blessed—happy, fortunate, prosperous
and enviable—is the man who walks
and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly
[following their advice, their plans and purposes],
nor stands [submissive and inactive]
in the path where sinners walk, nor sits
down [to relax and rest] where the scornful
[and the mockers] gather. But his delight
and desire are in the law of the Lord, and
on His law—the precepts, the instructions,
the teachings of God—he habitually meditates
(ponders and studies) by day and by
night. And he shall be like a tree firmly
planted [and tended] by the streams of
water, ready to bring forth his fruit in its
season; his leaf also shall not fade or wither,
and everything he does shall prosper [and
come to maturity].

Moffatt—Happy the man who never goes
by the advice of the ungodly, who never
takes the sinners’ road, nor joins the company
of scoffers, but finds his joy in the
Eternal’s law, poring over it day and night. He
is like a tree planted by a stream, that bears
fruit in due season, with leaves that never
fade; whatever he does, he prospers.

NIV—Blessed is the man who does not
walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand
in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of
mockers. But his delight is in the law of the
Lord, and on his law he meditates day and
night. He is like a tree planted by streams
of water, which yields its fruit in season and
whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he
does prospers.

Psalm 122:6-7
KJV—They shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity
within thy palaces.

Amp—May they prosper that love you
[the Holy City]! Peace be within your walls
and prosperity within your palaces!

Moffatt—May all thy homes be safe, may all
go well within thy walls, within thy palaces!

NIV—May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls and
security within your citadels.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
KJV—I call heaven and earth to record this
day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may
live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy
God, and that thou mayest obey his voice,
and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he
is thy life, and the length of thy days: that
thou mayest dwell in the land which the
Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Amp—I call Heaven and earth to witness
this day against you, that I have set before
you life and death, the blessing and the
curse; therefore choose life, that you and
your descendants may live; To love the
Lord your God, to obey His voice, and to
cling to Him; for He is your life, and the
length of your days, that you may dwell in
the land which the Lord swore to give to
your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Moffatt—Here and now I call heaven and
earth to witness against you that I have put
life and death before you, the blessing and
the curse: choose life, then, that you and your
children may live, by loving the Eternal your
God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to
him, for that means life to you and length of
days, that you may live in the land which the
Eternal swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
your fathers, that he would give to them.

NIV—This day I call heaven and earth as
witnesses against you that I have set before
you life and death, blessings and curses. Now
choose life, so that you and your children
may live and that you may love the Lord
your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to
him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give
you many years in the land he swore to give
to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Joshua 1:7-8
KJV—Only be thou strong and very courageous,
that thou mayest observe to do according
to all the law, which Moses my
servant commanded thee: turn not from it
to the right hand or to the left, that thou
mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
This book of the law shall not depart out
of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein
day and night, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all that is written therein: for
then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.

Amp—Only you be strong, and very courageous,
that you may do according to all
the law, which Moses My servant commanded
you. Turn not from it to the right
hand or to the left, that you may prosper
wherever you go.

of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it
day and night, that you may observe and
do according to all that is written in it; for

good success.

to carry out all your orders from my
servant Moses, turning neither to the right
nor to the left, so that you may succeed
wherever you go.

have on your lips; you must pore over it
day and night, that you may be mindful
to carry out all that is written in it, for so
shall you make your way prosperous, so
shall you succeed.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Deuteronomy 6:1-3

KJV—Now these are the commandments,
the statutes, and the judgments, which the
Lord your God commanded to teach you,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye
go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the
Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his
commandments, which I command thee, thou,
and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of
thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye
may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy
fathers hath promised thee, in the land that
floweth with milk and honey.

Amp—Now this is the instruction, the laws,
and the precepts, which the Lord your God
commanded me to teach you, that you
might do them in the land to which you go
to possess it; That you may (reverently) fear
the Lord your God, you and your son and
your son’s son, and keep all His statutes
and His commandments, which I command
you, all the days of your life; and that your
days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O
Israel, and be watchful to do them; that it
may be well with you, and that you may
increase exceedingly as the Lord God of
your fathers has promised you, in a land
flowing with milk and honey.

Moffatt—Now here is the code, the rules
and regulations, which the Eternal your
God has directed that you are to be taught
to follow in the land which you are crossing
to make your own, a land abounding with
milk and honey, that you may reverence
the Eternal your God by obeying all his
rules and orders all your life, as I enjoin
them upon you and your sons and your
grandsons, that you may have a long life.
Listen then, Israel, and be mindful to obey,
that things may go well with you, and that
you may multiply greatly, as the Eternal the
God of your fathers has promised you.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2

KJV—It shall come to pass, if thou shalt
hearken diligently unto the voice of the
Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this
day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on
high above all nations of the earth: And all
these blessings shall come on thee, and
overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto
the voice of the Lord thy God.

Amp—If you will listen diligently to the
voice of the Lord your God, being watchful
to do all His commandments which I command
you this day, the Lord your God will
set you high above all the nations of the
earth, And all these blessings shall come
upon you and overtake you, if you heed
the voice of the Lord your God.

NIV—If you fully obey the Lord your God
and carefully follow all his commands I give
you today, the Lord your God will set you
high above all the nations on earth. All these
blessings will come upon you and accompany
you if you obey the Lord your God.
