Morning - Japan. Psalms 1:1 - 6

 【TEV】

Psalms

1:1 Happy are those /who reject the advice of evil people, /who do not follow the example of sinners /or join those who have no use for God.

1:2 Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, /and they study it day and night.

1:3 They are like trees that grow beside a stream, /that bear fruit at the right time, /and whose leaves do not dry up. /They succeed in everything they do.

1:4 But evil people are not like this at all; /they are like straw that the wind blows away.

1:5 Sinners will be condemned by God /and kept apart from God's own people.

1:6 The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord, /but the evil are on the way to their doom.
