Psalms 1:4 in Context — Psalms 1

2 Mais qui trouve son plaisir dans la loi de l’Éternel, Et qui la médite jour et nuit!

3 Il est comme un arbre planté près d’un courant d’eau, Qui donne son fruit en sa saison, Et dont le feuillage ne se flétrit point: Tout ce qu’il fait lui réussit.

4 Il n’en est pas ainsi des méchants: Ils sont comme la paille que le vent dissipe.

5 C’est pourquoi les méchants ne résistent pas au jour du jugement, Ni les pécheurs dans l’assemblée des justes;

6 Car l’Éternel connaît la voie des justes, Et la voie des pécheurs mène à la ruine.
