1 H appy is the man who does not walk in the way sinful men tell him to, or stand in the path of sinners, or sit with those who laugh at the truth.

Bienaventurado el hombre que no anda en compañía de malvados, ni se detiene a hablar con pecadores, ni se sienta a conversar con blasfemos.

2 B ut he finds joy in the Law of the Lord and thinks about His Law day and night.

Que, por el contrario, se deleita en la ley del Señor, y día y noche medita en ella.

3 T his man is like a tree planted by rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time and its leaf never dries up. Whatever he does will work out well for him.

Ese hombre es como un árbol plantado junto a los arroyos: llegado el momento da su fruto, y sus hojas no se marchitan. ¡En todo lo que hace, prospera.

4 S inful men are not like this. They are like straw blown away by the wind.

Con los malvados no pasa lo mismo; ¡son como el tamo que se lleva el viento!

5 S o the sinful will not stand. They will be told they are guilty and have to suffer for it. Sinners will not stand with those who are right with God.

Por eso los malvados y pecadores no tienen arte ni parte en el juicio ni en las reuniones de los justos.

6 F or the Lord knows the way of those who are right with Him. But the way of the sinful will be lost from God forever.

El Señor conoce el camino de los justos, pero la senda de los malos termina mal.
