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.

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

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

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

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.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

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

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

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

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

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

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
