Psalmi 1

1 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

[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 Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

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 Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

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 Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

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

5 Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

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 Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.

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].
