Salme 1

1 Salig den Mand, som ikke vandrer i de ugudeliges Raad, ej heller staar paa Synderes Vej, ej heller sidder i Spotteres Sæde;

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal·, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 men som har Lyst til Herrens Lov, og som grunder paa hans Lov Dag og Nat.

but his delight is in Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching·. On his torot ·teachings· he meditates day and night.

3 Han skal være som et Træ, der er plantet ved Vandbække, hvilket giver sin Frugt i sin Tid, og hvoraf ikke et Blad affalder; og alt hvad han gør, skal han faa Lykke til.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Saaledes ere de ugudelige ikke, men ligesom Avner, hvilke Vejret bortdriver.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Derfor skulle de ugudelige ikke bestaa i Dommen, ej heller Syndere i de retfærdiges Menighed.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· in the congregation of the upright.

6 Thi Herren kender de retfærdiges Vej; men de ugudeliges Vej skal forgaa.

For Adonai knows the way of the upright, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
