Psalm 1
The Two Ways
1 How happy is the man
who does not follow[a] the advice of the wicked
or take[b] the path of sinners
or join a group[c] of mockers!(A)
2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.(B)
3 He is like a tree planted beside streams of water[d]
that bears its fruit in season[e](C)
and whose leaf does not wither.(D)
Whatever he does prospers.(E)
Psalm 1
Lexham English Bible
The Ways of the Righteous and the Wicked
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked;
nor does he stand in the way of sinners;
nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.
2 Instead, in the law of Yahweh is his delight,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water
that gives its fruit in its season;
its leaf also does not wither.
Therefore all that he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked.
Instead, they are like the chaff that the wind scatters.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,[a]
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Maori Bible
1 Ka hari te tangata kahore nei e haere i te whakaaro o te tangata kino, a kahore e tu i te ara o te hunga hara, kahore ano e noho i te nohoanga o te hunga whakahi.
2 Engari ko te ture a Ihowa tana e whakaahuareka ai; kei tona ture ona whakaaro i te ao, i te po.
3 E rite hoki ia ki te rakau i whakatokia ki te taha o nga awa wai, e whai hua nei i te po e hua ai: e kore tona rau e memenga; a ka pono ana mea katoa e mea ai ia.
4 E kore e pera nga tangata kino; engari ka rite ki te papapa e aia ana e te hau.
5 Ae ra, e kore e tu te hunga kino i te whakawakanga, me te hunga hara i te whakaminenga o te hunga tika.
6 E matau ana hoki a Ihowa ki te ara o te hunga tika: ko te ara ia o te hunga kino e ngaro.
