Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:

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

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium eius non defluet: et omnia quæcumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

6 For Yhwh knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
