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 pestilentiae 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 eius et in lege eius 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 eius non defluet et omnia quaecumque 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 proicit ventus a facie terrae

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

ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum

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

quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum et iter impiorum peribit
