Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

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

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

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 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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.
