Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

Berbahagialah orang yang tidak mengikuti nasihat orang jahat, tidak mencontoh orang berdosa dan tidak bergaul dengan orang yang menghina Allah,

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

tetapi yang suka melakukan Perintah TUHAN dan merenungkannya siang malam.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

Orang itu berhasil dalam segala usahanya; ia seperti pohon di tepi sungai yang berbuah pada musimnya dan tak pernah layu daunnya.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Sebaliknya orang jahat: ia seperti sekam yang dihamburkan angin.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Orang jahat akan dihukum Allah, hakimnya dan dipisahkan dari umat-Nya.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Sebab orang taat dibimbing dan dilindungi TUHAN, tetapi orang jahat menuju kepada kebinasaan.
