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.

Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,

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

već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.

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.

On je k'o stablo zasađeno pokraj voda tekućica što u svoje vrijeme plod donosi; lišće mu nikad ne vene, sve što radi dobrim urodi.

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

Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.

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

Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.

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

Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
