Felicidad verdadera

Feliz el hombre
que no sigue el consejo de los malvados,
ni va por el camino de los pecadores,
ni hace causa común con los que se burlan de Dios,
sino que pone su amor en la ley del Señor
y en ella medita noche y día.
Ese hombre es como un árbol
plantado a la orilla de un río,
que da su fruto a su tiempo
y jamás se marchitan sus hojas.
¡Todo lo que hace, le sale bien!

Con los malvados no pasa lo mismo,
pues son como paja que se lleva el viento.
Por eso los malvados caerán bajo el juicio de Dios
y no tendrán parte en la comunidad de los justos.
El Señor cuida el camino de los justos,
pero el camino de los malos lleva al desastre.

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)

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
