Psalms 1

1 blessed [the] man which not to go: walk in/on/with counsel wicked and in/on/with way: conduct sinner not to stand: stand and in/on/with seat to mock not to dwell

[God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

2 that if: except if: except in/on/with instruction LORD pleasure his and in/on/with instruction his to mutter by day and night

Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

3 and to be like/as tree to transplant upon stream water which fruit his to give: give in/on/with time his and leaf his not to wither and all which to make: do to prosper

They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

4 not so [the] wicked that if: except if: except like/as chaff which to drive him spirit: breath

But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

5 upon so not to arise: establish wicked in/on/with justice: judgement and sinner in/on/with congregation righteous

Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

6 for to know LORD way: journey righteous and way: journey wicked to perish

because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].
