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].

Selig der Mann, der in der Ungerechten Rat nicht wandelt, und auf der Sünder Weg nicht steht, noch sitzet auf der Spötter Sitz.

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.

Sondern hat seine Lust am Gesetze Jehovahs, und sinnet in Seinem Gesetze Tag und Nacht.

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.

Und er ist wie ein Baum gepflanzet an Bächlein der Wasser, der seine Frucht gibt zu seiner Zeit und seine Blätter welken nicht, und alles, was er tut, gelingt.

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

Nicht so die Ungerechten, sondern wie die Spreu sind sie, welche der Wind vertreibt.

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,

Darum bestehen die Ungerechten nicht im Gericht, noch die Sünder in der Gemeinde der Gerechten.

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].

Denn Jehovah kennt den Weg der Gerechten, aber der Ungerechten Weg vergeht.
