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;

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

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.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

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

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

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

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
