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!

Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, 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.

And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

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

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

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

Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

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

For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
