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.

Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

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

Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

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.

Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

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

Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

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

Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

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

Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.
