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.

Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:

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

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

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.

Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium eius non defluet: et omnia quæcumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

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

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

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

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
