Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

Blagor možu, ki ne hodi po sovetu krivičnih in ne stopa na grešnikov pot ter ne sedeva v zboru zasmehovalcev;

2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

Nego veselje njegovo je v postavi Gospodovi, in postavo njegovo premišljuje noč in dan.

3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

Je namreč kakor drevo zasajeno ob vodnih potocih, katero sad svoj rodi o svojem času, in listje njegovo ne odpada: zatorej karkoli bode počel, posrečilo se mu bode.

4 Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

Ne tako krivični; nego kakor pleve, katere veter raznaša.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

Zatorej ne ostanejo krivični v óni sodbi; ne grešniki v zboru pravičnih.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Ker Gospod pozna pravičnih pot; pot pa krivičnih izgine.
