Salmos 1

1 ¡Dichoso el hombre que no sigue el consejo de los malvados, ni pone el pie en el camino de los pecadores, ni entre los burladores toma asiento,

[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 mas tiene su deleite en la Ley del Señor, y en ella medita día y noche!

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 Es como un árbol plantado junto a ríos de agua, que a su tiempo dará fruto y cuyas hojas no se marchitan; todo cuanto hiciere prosperará.

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 No así los malvados, no así. Ellos son como paja que el viento desparrama.

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

5 Por eso en el juicio no estarán en pie los malvados, ni los pecadores en la reunión de los justos.

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 Porque el camino de los justos lo cuida Yahvé, y el camino de los malvados tiene mal fin.

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].
