卷一:诗篇1—41

有福之人

1-2 不从恶人的计谋,
不与罪人为伍,
不和轻慢上帝的人同流合污,
只喜爱耶和华的律法,
昼夜默诵,
这样的人有福了!
他就像溪水旁的树木——
按时结果子,
叶子也不凋零。
他必凡事亨通。
恶人的光景却截然不同!
他们就像被风吹散的糠秕。
恶人在审判之日必无法逃脱,
罪人在义人的聚会中必站不住脚。
因为耶和华看顾义人的脚步,
恶人的道路必通向灭亡。

Psalms 1—41

Two Ways to Live

Happy is the person who doesn’t listen to the wicked.
    He doesn’t go where sinners go.
    He doesn’t do what bad people do.
He loves the Lord’s teachings.
    He thinks about those teachings day and night.
He is strong, like a tree planted by a river.
    It produces fruit in season.
    Its leaves don’t die.
Everything he does will succeed.

But wicked people are not like that.
    They are like useless chaff
    that the wind blows away.
So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.
    Sinners will not worship God with good people.
This is because the Lord protects good people.
    But the wicked will be destroyed.
