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 doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on 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 Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

3 P ois será como a árvore plantada junto

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

The wicked 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 wicked 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 Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
