Psalms 1

1 O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

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 YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

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

3 And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to 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 Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

5 Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

6 For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.
