Psalms 1

1 BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.

Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.

Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

5 Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

6 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.

Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.
