Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

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 Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

sed in lege Domini voluntas eius et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte

3 And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

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 as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

non sic impii non sic sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus a facie terrae

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

ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum

6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum et iter impiorum peribit
