Godliness Is True Happiness That Leads To Everlasting Joy
PSALM 1
© Personal Translation
1 Oh, the joys of the Righteous. Yes Happy and Blessed are those
who do not take the advice of the wicked or follow the example of sinners
or keep company with those who have no time for God.
They do not allow evil to impact or determine their behaviour.
(Hebrew)
2 They love to take pleasure in the Ways of Adonai
their hearts delight in His Words day and night.
3 This makes them like trees planted by flowing streams
that produce fruit at the right times
their leaves do not fade
and they fair well with The Lord's Blessings.
4 The wicked are not so, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 for they will be Without Excuse in the Day of Judgment
and Sinners won't be among the Righteous -
they will have no place with them.
6 The Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
(The Second Death in the NT)
For The Lord knows the way of Righteous People, but the way of Wicked People will Perish.
