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;

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

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 he meditates day and night.

3 P ois será como a árvore plantada junto

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

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

The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

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

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
