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 advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

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

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law 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 leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

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

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

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

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
