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:

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

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

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

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.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

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

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

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

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

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

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
