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.

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 the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

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 whatsoever he does shall prosper.

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

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

Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit 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 judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.
