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.

Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

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

Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

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.

Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

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

Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

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

Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

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

Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.
