Psalms 1

1 [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].

Heureux l’homme qui n’est pas allé au conseil des impies, qui ne s’est pas arrêté dans la voie des pécheurs, qui ne s’est pas assis dans la chaire de pestilence;

2 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.

Mais dont la volonté est dans la loi du Seigneur, et qui médite cette loi le jour et la nuit.

3 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.

Il sera comme l’arbre planté près des courants des eaux, qui donnera son fruit en son temps; Et sa feuille ne tombera point; et tout ce qu’il fera prospérera.

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

Il n’en est pas ainsi des impies; non, il n’en est pas ainsi, mais ils sont comme la poussière que le vent emporte de la face de la terre.

5 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,

C’est pourquoi les impies ne ressusciteront pas au jugement, ni les pécheurs dans l’assemblée des justes.

6 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].

Parce que le Seigneur connaît la voie des justes, et la voie des impies périra.
