1 BIENAVENTURADO el varón que no anduvo en consejo de malos, Ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, Ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado;

2 Antes en la ley de Jehová está su delicia, Y en su ley medita de día y de noche.

3 Y será como el árbol plantado junto á arroyos de aguas, Que da su fruto en su tiempo, Y su hoja no cae; Y todo lo que hace, prosperará.

4 No así los malos: Sino como el tamo que arrebata el viento.

5 Por tanto no se levantarán los malos en el juicio, Ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos.

6 Porque Jehová conoce el camino de los justos; Mas la senda de los malos perecerá.

1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
