1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stand on the path of sinners,

nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s*1:2 "Yahweh" is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations. law.

On his law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

that produces its fruit in its season,

whose leaf also does not wither.

Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,

but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked shall perish.

1 有福的人：

不从恶人的计谋，

不站罪人的道路，

不坐好讥笑的人的座位。

2 他喜爱的是耶和华的律法，

他昼夜默诵的也是耶和华的律法。

3 他像一棵树，栽在溪水旁，

按时结果子，

叶子总不枯干；

他所作的一切，尽都顺利。

4 恶人却不是这样，

他们好象糠秕，

被风吹散。

5 因此，在审判的时候，恶人必站立不住；

在义人的团体中，罪人也必这样。

6 因为耶和华看顾义人的道路，

恶人的道路却必灭亡。
