Psalms 1

1 BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

On je k'o stablo zasađeno pokraj voda tekućica što u svoje vrijeme plod donosi; lišće mu nikad ne vene, sve što radi dobrim urodi.

4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.

6 For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
