Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

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 Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

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

4 Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

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

6 For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
