Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

¡Dichoso el hombre que no sigue el consejo de los malvados, ni pone el pie en el camino de los pecadores, ni entre los burladores toma asiento,

2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

mas tiene su deleite en la Ley del Señor, y en ella medita día y noche!

3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

Es como un árbol plantado junto a ríos de agua, que a su tiempo dará fruto y cuyas hojas no se marchitan; todo cuanto hiciere prosperará.

4 Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

No así los malvados, no así. Ellos son como paja que el viento desparrama.

5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

Por eso en el juicio no estarán en pie los malvados, ni los pecadores en la reunión de los justos.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.

Porque el camino de los justos lo cuida Yahvé, y el camino de los malvados tiene mal fin.
