< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.
How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.
2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.
That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.
3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.
And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.
4 Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.
Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.
5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.
There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].
6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
