LIBRO I

El justo y los pecadores

Bienaventurado el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos,

Ni estuvo en camino de pecadores,

Ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado;

Sino que en la ley de Jehová está su delicia,

Y en su ley medita de día y de noche.

Será como árbol plantado junto a corrientes de aguas,(A)

Que da su fruto en su tiempo,

Y su hoja no cae;

Y todo lo que hace, prosperará.

No así los malos,

Que son como el tamo que arrebata el viento.

Por tanto, no se levantarán los malos en el juicio,

Ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.

Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos;

Mas la senda de los malos perecerá.

BOOK 1

The Way of the Righteous and Wicked

How blessed is the man who (A)does not walk in the (B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the (C)way of sinners,
Nor (D)sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his (E)delight is (F)in the law of [a]Yahweh,
And in His law he meditates (G)day and (H)night.
And he will be like (I)a tree firmly planted by [b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its [c]leaf does not wither;
And [d]in whatever he does, (J)he prospers.

The wicked are not so,
But they are like (K)chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore (L)the wicked will not rise in the (M)judgment,
Nor sinners in (N)the congregation of the righteous.
For Yahweh [e](O)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of (P)the wicked will perish.
