Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

2 But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

3 For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

4 The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
