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.

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 doth 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 bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth 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 driveth 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 knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
