< Psalms 1 >
1 Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.
How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.
2 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.
That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.
3 They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.
And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.
4 But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.
Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.
5 For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.
There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].
6 For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
