< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:
【善惡二路】凡不隨從惡人的計謀,不插足於罪人的道路,不參與譏諷者的席位,
2 But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.
專心愛好上主法律的,畫夜默思上主誡命的,這樣的人才是有福的!
3 For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.
他像植在溪畔的樹木,準時結果,枝葉不枯,所作所為,隨心所欲。
4 The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.
惡人卻不如此,絕不如此! 他們像被風吹散的糠秕。
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.
在審判的時日,惡人站立不住;在義人的會中,罪人不能立足:
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
因上主賞識義人的行徑,惡人的行徑必自趨沉淪
