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.

¡Inmensamente feliz es el varón que no anduvo en consejo de impíos, Ni se detuvo en camino de pecadores, Ni se sentó en silla de burladores!

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

Sino en la Ley de Yavé halla complacencia, Y en su Ley reflexiona de día y de noche.

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.

Será como árbol plantado junto a corrientes de agua Que da su fruto a su tiempo Y su follaje no se marchita. Todo lo que hace tendrá éxito.

4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

No así los impíos, Que son como cáscara de grano levantada por el viento.

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,

Por tanto, no se levantarán los impíos en el juicio.

6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

Porque Yavé conoce el camino de los justos, Pero la senda de los impíos lleva a destrucción.
