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].

Felices los que no siguen los consejos del malvado, los que se niegan a seguir el camino de los pecadores y no se burlan de los demás.

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.

Sino que por el contrario aman obedecer la ley del Señor, y piensan en ella día y 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.

Son como árboles plantados junto a ríos de agua viva, que producen fruto en cada temporada. Sus hojas nunca se marchitan, y son exitosos en todo lo que hacen.

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

Pero tal no es el caso de los malvados. Ellos son como paja que se lleva 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 eso los malvados no sobrevivirán al juicio, pues los pecadores no tienen lugar entre los que viven con rectitud.

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 el Señor guarda a los que siguen el camino del bien, pero el camino de los malvados conduce a la muerte.
