| 1:1 | 不從惡人的計謀、不站罪人的道路、不坐褻慢人的座位、 | 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. |
| 1:2 | 惟喜愛耶和華的律法、晝夜思想、這人便為有福。 | But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. |
| 1:3 | 他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁、按時候結果子、葉子也不枯乾.凡他所作的、盡都順利。 | 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. |
| 1:4 | 惡人並不是這樣、乃像糠秕被風吹散。 | The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. |
| 1:5 | 因此當審判的時候、惡人必站立不住.罪人在義人的會中、也是如此。 | Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. |
| 1:6 | 因為耶和華知道義人的道路.惡人的道路、卻必滅亡。 | For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. |
