< Psalms 1 >
1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
不從惡人的計謀, 不站罪人的道路, 不坐褻慢人的座位,
2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
惟喜愛耶和華的律法, 晝夜思想, 這人便為有福!
3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.
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。
4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
惡人並不是這樣, 乃像糠詷被風吹散。
5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,
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。
6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
因為耶和華知道義人的道路; 惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
