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.

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Two Responses to God’s Word

The Way of the Godly Leads to Blessing

How blessed is the man
    who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,
    who does not stand on the path with sinners,
    and who does not sit in a meeting with mockers.
But his delight is in the teaching[a] of the Lord,
and on his teaching he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted beside streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season,
    and its leaves do not wither.
Everything he does prospers.

The Way of the Ungodly Leads to Destruction

Not so the wicked!
No, they are like the chaff which the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Conclusion

Yes, the Lord approves[b] of the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
