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;

O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

2 But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

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.

And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

4 Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

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

Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

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

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