Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

tetapi yang suka melakukan Perintah TUHAN dan merenungkannya siang malam.

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

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

4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

Sebaliknya orang jahat: ia seperti sekam yang dihamburkan angin.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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.
