Psalms 1:1-6 LITV
(1) Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of scorners. (2) But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah, and he meditates in His Law day and night. (3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of waters, which will give its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf will not wither, and all which he does will prosper. (4) Not so are the wicked, but they are only as chaff which the wind drives about. (5) On account of this the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. (6) For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 1:1-6 NWT
1 Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones, And in the way of sinners has not stood, And in the seat of ridiculers has not sat. 2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, And in his law he reads in an undertone day and night. 3 And he will certainly become like a tree planted by streams of water, That gives its own fruit in its season And the foliage of which does not wither, And everything he does will succeed. 4 The wicked are not like that, But are like the chaff that the wind drives away. 5 That is why the wicked ones will not stand up in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of righteous ones. 6 For Jehovah is taking knowledge of the way of righteous ones, But the very way of wicked ones will perish.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
