Salme 1

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

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

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates 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.

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 De gudløse derimod er som Avner, Vinden bortvejrer.

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

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

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

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

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