1 B em-aventurado o homem que não anda segundo o conselho dos ímpios, nem se detém no caminho dos pecadores, nem se assenta na roda dos escarnecedores;

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 a ntes tem seu prazer na lei do Senhor, e na sua lei medita de dia e noite.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 P ois será como a árvore plantada junto

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 N ão são assim os ímpios, mas são semelhantes ã moinha que o vento espalha.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 P elo que os ímpios não subsistirão no juízo, nem os pecadores na congregação dos justos;

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 p orque o Senhor conhece o caminho dos justos, mas o caminho dos ímpios conduz ã ruína.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
