< Salme 1 >

1 Salig den Mand, som ikke går efter gudløses Råd, står på Synderes Vej eller sidder i Spotteres Lag,
BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.
2 men har Lyst til HERRENs Lov, og som grunder på hans Lov både Dag og Nat.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate 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, får han Lykke til.
And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.
4 De gudløse derimod er som Avner, Vinden bortvejrer.
Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Derfor består de gudløse ikke i Dommen og Syndere ej i retfærdiges Menighed.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 Thi HERREN kender retfærdiges Vej, men gudløses Vej brydes af.
For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
