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 man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

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 Yahweh, 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 produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

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

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

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

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
