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:

Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 on his law he meditates day and 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.

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

Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the 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 knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
