詩篇 1

1 不從惡人的計謀， 不站罪人的道路， 不坐褻慢人的座位，

[God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

2 惟喜愛耶和華的律法， 晝夜思想， 這人便為有福！

Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

3 他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁， 按時候結果子， 葉子也不枯乾。 凡他所做的盡都順利。

They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

4 惡人並不是這樣， 乃像糠詷被風吹散。

But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

5 因此，當審判的時候，惡人必站立不住； 罪人在義人的會中也是如此。

Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

6 因為耶和華知道義人的道路； 惡人的道路卻必滅亡。

because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].
