UNANG AKLAT

Dalawang Uri ng Pamumuhay

Mapalad ang taong
    hindi lumalakad sa payo ng masama,
ni tumatayo man sa daan ng mga makasalanan,
    ni umuupo man sa upuan ng mga manunuya;
kundi nasa kautusan ng Panginoon ang kanyang kagalakan,
    at nagbubulay-bulay araw at gabi sa kanyang kautusan.
Siya ay(A) gaya ng isang punungkahoy
    na itinanim sa tabi ng agos ng tubig,
na nagbubunga sa kanyang kapanahunan,
    ang kanyang dahon nama'y hindi nalalanta,
sa lahat ng kanyang ginagawa ay nagtatagumpay siya.

Ang masama ay hindi gayon;
    kundi parang ipang itinataboy ng hangin.
Kaya't ang masama ay hindi tatayo sa hukuman,
    ni sa kapulungan ng matuwid ang makasalanan;
sapagkat ang lakad ng matuwid ang Panginoon ang nakakaalam,
    ngunit mapapahamak ang lakad ng makasalanan.

BOOK I

(Psalms 1–41)

The Two Ways

How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!(A)
Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.(B)
He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams[a]
that bears its fruit in its season,(C)
and its leaf does not wither.(D)
Whatever he does prospers.(E)

The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.(F)
Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgement,(G)
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,(H)
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.(I)

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)
