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].

【善惡二路】凡不隨從惡人的計謀，不插足於罪人的道路，不參與譏諷者的席位，

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.

專心愛好上主法律的，畫夜默思上主誡命的，這樣的人才是有福的！

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.

他像植在溪畔的樹木，準時結果，枝葉不枯，所作所為，隨心所欲。

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

惡人卻不如此，絕不如此! 他們像被風吹散的糠秕。

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,

在審判的時日，惡人站立不住；在義人的會中，罪人不能立足：

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].

因上主賞識義人的行徑，惡人的行徑必自趨沉淪
