Mazmur 1

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

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 tetapi yang suka melakukan Perintah TUHAN dan merenungkannya siang malam.

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

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

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 Sebaliknya orang jahat: ia seperti sekam yang dihamburkan angin.

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

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

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

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

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