1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Heri mtu yule asiyekwenda Katika shauri la wasio haki; Wala hakusimama katika njia ya wakosaji; Wala hakuketi barazani pa wenye mizaha.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Bali sheria ya Bwana ndiyo impendezayo, Na sheria yake huitafakari mchana na usiku.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Naye atakuwa kama mti uliopandwa Kandokando ya vijito vya maji, Uzaao matunda yake kwa majira yake, Wala jani lake halinyauki; Na kila alitendalo litafanikiwa.
4 The ungodly are not so:
But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Sivyo walivyo wasio haki; Hao ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Kwa hiyo wasio haki hawatasimama hukumuni, Wala wakosaji katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Kwa kuwa Bwana anaijua njia ya wenye haki, Bali njia ya wasio haki itapotea.
