< 시편 1 >
1 복있는 사람은 악인의 꾀를 좇지 아니하며 죄인의 길에 서지 아니하며 오만한 자의 자리에 앉지 아니하고
[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 오직 여호와의 율법을 즐거워하여 그 율법을 주야로 묵상하는 자로다
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 저는 시냇가에 심은 나무가 시절을 좇아 과실을 맺으며 그 잎사귀가 마르지 아니함 같으니 그 행사가 다 형통하리로다
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 악인은 그렇지 않음이여 오직 바람에 나는 겨와 같도다
But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.
5 그러므로 악인이 심판을 견디지 못하며 죄인이 의인의 회중에 들지 못하리로다
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 대저 의인의 길은 여호와께서 인정하시나 악인의 길은 망하리로다
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].
