Psaumes 1

1 Bienheureux l’homme qui ne marche pas dans le conseil des méchants, et ne se tient pas dans le chemin des pécheurs, et ne s’assied pas au 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 qui a son plaisir en la loi de l’Éternel, et médite dans sa loi jour et nuit!

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 Et il sera comme un arbre planté près des ruisseaux d’eaux, qui rend son fruit en sa saison, et dont la feuille ne se flétrit point; et tout ce qu’il fait 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 Il n’en est pas ainsi des méchants, mais ils sont comme la balle 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 subsisteront point dans le jugement, ni les pécheurs dans l’assemblée 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 l’Éternel 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].
