LIBRO I

El justo y los pecadores

Bienaventurado el hombre
que no anda en compañía de malvados,
ni se detiene a hablar con pecadores,
ni se sienta a conversar con blasfemos.
Que, por el contrario,
se deleita en la ley del Señor,
y día y noche medita en ella.
Ese hombre es como un árbol
plantado junto a los arroyos:(A)
llegado el momento da su fruto,
y sus hojas no se marchitan.
¡En todo lo que hace, prospera.
Con los malvados no pasa lo mismo;
¡son como el tamo que se lleva el viento!
Por eso los malvados y pecadores
no tienen arte ni parte en el juicio
ni en las reuniones de los justos.
El Señor conoce el camino de los justos,
pero la senda de los malos termina mal.

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)

BOOK ONE

Psalms 1–41

The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

Blessed (A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But (C)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
(D)And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
(E)Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall (F)prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are (G)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For (H)the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
