Psaumes 1

1 Heureux l'homme qui ne suit pas les conseils des méchants, ni se tenir sur le chemin des pécheurs, ni s'asseoir sur le siège des moqueurs;

[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].

2 mais son plaisir est dans la loi de Yahvé. Il médite jour et nuit sur sa loi.

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.

3 Il sera comme un arbre planté près des ruisseaux d'eau, qui produit son fruit en sa saison, dont la feuille ne se fane pas non plus. Tout ce qu'il fait sera prospère.

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.

4 Les méchants ne sont pas ainsi, mais sont comme la paille que le vent chasse.

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

5 C'est pourquoi les méchants ne tiendront pas dans le jugement, ni les pécheurs dans la congrégation des justes.

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,

6 Car Yahvé connaît la voie des justes, mais la voie des méchants périra.

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].
