Salme 1

1 Salig den Mand, som ikke gaar efter gudløses Raad, staar paa Synderes Vej eller sidder i Spotteres Lag,

How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

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

That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

3 Han er som et Træ, der, plantet ved Bække, bærer sin Frugt til rette Tid, og Bladene visner ikke: Alt, hvad han gør, faar han Lykke til.

And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

4 De gudløse derimod er som Avner, Vinden bortvejrer.

Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

5 Derfor bestaar de gudløse ikke i Dommen og Syndere ej i retfærdiges Menighed.

There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

6 Thi HERREN kender retfærdiges Vej, men gudløses Vej brydes af.

For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
