< 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].
Säll är den man som icke vandrar i de ogudaktigas råd och icke träder in på syndares väg, ej heller sitter där bespottare sitta,
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.
utan har sin lust i HERRENS lag och tänker på hans lag både dag och natt.
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.
Han är såsom ett träd, planterat vid vattenbäckar, vilket bär sin frukt i sin tid, och vars löv icke vissna; och allt vad han gör, det lyckas väl.
4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.
Icke så de ogudaktiga, utan de äro såsom agnar som vinden bortför.
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,
Därför skola de ogudaktiga icke bestå i domen, ej heller syndarna i de rättfärdigas församling.
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].
Ty HERREN känner de rättfärdigas väg, men de ogudaktigas väg förgås.
