Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit;

2 but his delight is in the LORD’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 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.

Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur.

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

Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.
