Libro I(A)

Dichoso es quien
    no sigue el consejo de los malvados,
ni se detiene en la senda de los pecadores,
    ni se sienta en la reunión de los burladores,
sino que en la Ley del Señor se deleita
    y día y noche medita en ella.
Es como el árbol plantado a la orilla de un río
    que, cuando llega su tiempo, da fruto
y sus hojas jamás se marchitan.
    Todo cuanto hace prospera.

En cambio, los malvados
    son como paja arrastrada por el viento.
Por eso no se sostendrán los malvados en el juicio
    ni los pecadores en la asamblea de los justos.

Porque el Señor cuida el camino de los justos,
    mas la senda de los malvados lleva a la perdición.

BOOK ONE

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man
    who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
    that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
    and whatever he does will prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
    but are like the chaff
    which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the ungodly will perish.

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)
