< Psalmi 1 >
1 Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 On je k'o stablo zasađeno pokraj voda tekućica što u svoje vrijeme plod donosi; lišće mu nikad ne vene, sve što radi dobrim urodi.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.
The wicked are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.
