Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 on his law he meditates day and night.

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

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall 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 with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

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

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

6 For YHWH knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.
