Psalms 1

1 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.

Berbahagialah orang yang tidak mengikuti nasihat orang jahat, tidak mencontoh orang berdosa dan tidak bergaul dengan orang yang menghina Allah,

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

tetapi yang suka melakukan Perintah TUHAN dan merenungkannya siang malam.

3 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.

Orang itu berhasil dalam segala usahanya; ia seperti pohon di tepi sungai yang berbuah pada musimnya dan tak pernah layu daunnya.

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

Sebaliknya orang jahat: ia seperti sekam yang dihamburkan angin.

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

Orang jahat akan dihukum Allah, hakimnya dan dipisahkan dari umat-Nya.

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

Sebab orang taat dibimbing dan dilindungi TUHAN, tetapi orang jahat menuju kepada kebinasaan.
