OET interlinear PSA 1:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

לֹא־כֵ֥ן

not so

The so here refers to everything in the first three verses. The wicked are not in any way like the happy man. If your language has a way to indicate that so refers back not just to the last line about success but to the wider context of the first three verses, consider using it.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

הָ⁠רְשָׁעִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: not so the_wicked,[people] that/for/because/then/when if like,chaff which/who it,drives_it_about wind )

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

כַּ֝⁠מֹּ֗ץ

(Some words not found in UHB: not so the_wicked,[people] that/for/because/then/when if like,chaff which/who it,drives_it_about wind )

The word chaff refers to the parts of a wheat or other grain plant that are not food. The husk that surrounds the edible seed is very light, and it blows away when the wheat is threshed to separate out the edible seed. Thus, the chaff is with the grain until harvest but then separated and blown away. If your readers would not be familiar with the word chaff you could use a more general term or use another light and worthless material to describe the wicked. Alternate translation: [they are like … dried seed husks] or [they are like … fallen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כִּ֥י אִם־כַּ֝⁠מֹּ֗ץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶ֥⁠נּוּ רֽוּחַ

(Some words not found in UHB: not so the_wicked,[people] that/for/because/then/when if like,chaff which/who it,drives_it_about wind )

The idea of the wicked as waste material gathered at the harvest and eliminated in some way is a common biblical image of God judging the wicked. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly.
