< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits 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 does 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 the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does 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 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.
5 Therefore the ungodly 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 knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
