Introduction to PsalmsBOOK I The Two Paths (Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23)
1 UDB How fortunate are those who do not do what wicked people advise them to do, who do not imitate how sinful people behave, and who do not join with people who ridicule God. BSB BSB: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 UDB Instead, those with whom Yahweh is pleased delight in understanding what he teaches us. They read and think every day and every night about what Yahweh teaches. BSB BSB: But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.
3 UDB They constantly do things that please God, just as fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. Like trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do. BSB BSB: He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.
4 UDB But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are as worthless as chaff that is blown away by the wind. BSB BSB: Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
5 UDB Therefore, when God judges all mankind, he will condemn the wicked. Furthermore, wicked people will not be present when Yahweh gathers all the righteous people together. BSB BSB: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 UDB For Yahweh guides and protects righteous people, but the path that wicked people walk on leads them to where God will destroy them forever. BSB BSB: For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
