Psalm 1 [O greatly blessed is the man] [Spanish translation]

Verse 1

O greatly blessed is the man

Who walketh not astray

In counsel of ungodly men,

Nor stands in sinners' way,

Verse 2

Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair,

But placeth his delight

Upon God's law, and meditates

On His law day and night.

Verse 3

He shall be like a tree that grows

Set by the waterside,

Which in its season yields its fruit,

And green its leaves abide;

Verse 4

And all he does shall prosper well.

The wicked are not so,

But are like chaff which by the wind

Is driven to and fro.

Verse 5

In judgement therefore shall not stand

Such as ungodly are,

Nor in th'assembly of the just

Shall wicked men appear.

Verse 6

Because the way of godly men

Is to Jehovah known;

Whereas the way of wicked men

Shall quite be overthrown.
