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 Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits 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 he meditates day and night.

3 P ois será como a árvore plantada junto

He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does 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 drives 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 knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
