< Psalms 1 >
1 BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
不從惡人的計謀, 不站罪人的道路, 不坐褻慢人的座位,
2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.
惟喜愛耶和華的律法, 晝夜思想, 這人便為有福!
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.
他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁, 按時候結果子, 葉子也不枯乾。 凡他所做的盡都順利。
4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
惡人並不是這樣, 乃像糠詷被風吹散。
5 Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
因此,當審判的時候,惡人必站立不住; 罪人在義人的會中也是如此。
6 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
因為耶和華知道義人的道路; 惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
