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 ejus, et in lege ejus 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 ejus 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 projicit 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 judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

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

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.]
