< 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.
BIENAVENTURADO el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos, ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado;
2 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.
Antes en la ley de Jehová está su delicia, y en su ley medita de día y de noche.
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.
Y será como el árbol plantado junto á arroyos de aguas, que da su fruto en su tiempo, y su hoja no cae; y todo lo que hace, prosperará.
4 But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.
No así los malos: sino como el tamo que arrebata el viento.
5 For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.
Por tanto no se levantarán los malos en el juicio, ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.
6 For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos; mas la senda de los malos perecerá.
