詩篇 1

1 【善惡二路】凡不隨從惡人的計謀，不插足於罪人的道路，不參與譏諷者的席位，

Blessid is the man, that yede not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence.

2 專心愛好上主法律的，畫夜默思上主誡命的，這樣的人才是有福的！

But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.

3 他像植在溪畔的樹木，準時結果，枝葉不枯，所作所為，隨心所欲。

And he schal be as a tree, which is plauntid bisidis the rennyngis of watris; which tre schal yyue his fruyt in his tyme. And his leef schal not falle doun; and alle thingis which euere he schal do schulen haue prosperite.

4 惡人卻不如此，絕不如此! 他們像被風吹散的糠秕。

Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe.

5 在審判的時日，惡人站立不住；在義人的會中，罪人不能立足：

Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men.

6 因上主賞識義人的行徑，惡人的行徑必自趨沉淪

For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.
