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 pestilentiae 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 eius, et in lege eius 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 eius non defluet: et omnia quaecumque 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 proiicit ventus a facie terrae.

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

Ideo non resurgunt impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

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

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
