1[This verse may not be a part of this translation]
1O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;
2धार्मिक मानिसले परमप्रभुको शिक्षा मन पराउँदछ। ऊ परमप्रभुको शिक्षाहरूको विषयमा रात-दिन सोचिरहन्छ।
2But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
3यसकारण त्यो मानिस खोलाको पानीले सिंचेको रूख जस्तै बलियो हुन्छ ऊ ठीक समय फल दिने रूख सरह हो। ऊ पातहरू भएको रूख जस्तै हो जो मर्दैन उसले गरेको प्रत्येक काम सफल हुन्छ।
3And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
4तर दुष्ट मानिसहरू त्यस्ता हुँदैनन्। दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई भूसलाई जस्तै हावाले उडाई लान्छ।
4Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!
5यदि सबै धर्मी मानिसहरू अदालतको मुद्दा निर्णय गर्न भेला हुन्छन् तब दुष्ट मानिसहरू दोषी प्रमाणित हुनेछन। ती पापीहरूलाई निर्दोष भनेर न्याय गरिने छैन।
5Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,
6किन? किनभने परमप्रभुले धर्मी मानिसहरूको रक्षा गर्नुहुन्छ, तर दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई नष्ट गर्नुहुन्छ।
6For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
