Salmos 1

1 ¡Inmensamente feliz es el varón que no anduvo en consejo de impíos, Ni se detuvo en camino de pecadores, Ni se sentó en silla de burladores!

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

2 Sino en la Ley de Yavé halla complacencia, Y en su Ley reflexiona de día y de noche.

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

3 Será como árbol plantado junto a corrientes de agua Que da su fruto a su tiempo Y su follaje no se marchita. Todo lo que hace tendrá éxito.

And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

4 No así los impíos, Que son como cáscara de grano levantada por el viento.

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

5 Por tanto, no se levantarán los impíos en el juicio.

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

6 Porque Yavé conoce el camino de los justos, Pero la senda de los impíos lleva a destrucción.

For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
