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].

BIENAVENTURADO el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos, ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado;

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.

Antes en la ley de Jehová está su delicia, y en su ley medita de día y de noche.

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.

Y será como el árbol plantado junto á arroyos de aguas, que da su fruto en su tiempo, y su hoja no cae; y todo lo que hace, prosperará.

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

No así los malos: sino como el tamo que arrebata el viento.

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,

Por tanto no se levantarán los malos en el juicio, ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.

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].

Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos; mas la senda de los malos perecerá.
