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!

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

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 impíos, Que son como cáscara de grano levantada por el viento.

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

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

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

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].
