UNANG AKLAT

Ang Tunay na Kagalakan

Mapalad ang taong hindi nakikinig sa payo ng masama,
    at hindi sumusunod sa masama nilang halimbawa.
    Hindi siya nakikisama sa mga kumukutya
    at hindi nakikisangkot sa gawaing masama.
Sa halip, kasiyahan niyang sumunod sa kautusan ni Yahweh.
    Binubulay-bulay niya ito sa araw at gabi.
Katulad(A) niya'y punongkahoy sa tabi ng isang batisan,
    laging sariwa ang dahon at namumunga sa takdang panahon.
Ano man ang kanyang gawin, siya'y nagtatagumpay.

Hindi gayon ang sinumang gumagawa ng masama,
    ito ay tulad ng ipa, hangin ang siyang nagtatangay.
Sa araw ng paghuhukom, parusa niya'y nakalaan
    siya'y ihihiwalay sa grupo ng mga banal.
Sa taong matuwid, si Yahweh ang pumapatnubay,
    ngunit ang taong masama, kapahamakan ang hantungan.

BOOK I

(Psalms 1–41)

The Way to Happiness

God blesses those people
    who refuse evil advice
    and won't follow sinners
    or join in sneering at God.
Instead, they find happiness
    in the Teaching of the Lord,
and they think about it
    day and night.

(A) They are like trees
    growing beside a stream,
trees that produce
fruit in season
    and always have leaves.
Those people succeed
    in everything they do.

That isn't true of those
    who are evil—
they are like straw
    blown by the wind.
Sinners won't have an excuse
    on the day of judgment,
and they won't have a place
    with the people of God.
The Lord protects everyone
    who follows him,
but the wicked follow a road
    that leads to ruin.

BOOK I

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one(A)
    who does not walk(B) in step with the wicked(C)
or stand in the way(D) that sinners take(E)
    or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)
    and who meditates(J) on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree(K) planted by streams(L) of water,(M)
    which yields its fruit(N) in season
and whose leaf(O) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(P)

Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff(Q)
    that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand(R) in the judgment,(S)
    nor sinners in the assembly(T) of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over(U) the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.(V)
