المَزامِير 1

١ 1 طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي لَا يَتْبَعُ مَشُورَةَ الأَشْرَارِ، ولَا يَقِفُ فِي طَرِيقِ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلَا يُجَالِسُ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

٢ 2 بَلْ فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ بَهْجَتُهُ، يَتَأَمَّلُ فِيهَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً.

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

٣ 3 فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ، تُعْطِي ثَمَرَهَا فِي حِينِهِ، وَوَرَقُهَا لَا يَذْبُلُ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ يُفْلِحُ.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ حَالُ الأَشْرَارِ، بَلْ إنَّهُمْ مِثْلُ التِّبْنِ الَّذِي تُبَدِّدُهُ الرِّيحُ.

Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ لَا تَقُومُ لَهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لِلْخُطَاةِ مَكَانٌ بَيْنَ جَمَاعَةِ الأَبْرَارِ،

Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

٦ 6 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَحْفَظُ طَرِيقَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ فَمَصِيرُهَا الهَلاكُ.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
