←Prev   Psalms 1 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



1:1  Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord. They don’t follow the advice of evil people. They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do. They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.
1:2  Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy. They think about his law day and night.
1:3  That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.
1:4  Sinful people are not like that at all. They are like straw that the wind blows away.
1:5  When the Lord judges them, their life will come to an end. Sinners won’t have any place among those who are godly.
1:6  The Lord watches over the lives of godly people. But the lives of sinful people will lead to their death.
