Psalms 1

1 “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit:

2 But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall 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 unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terrae.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

Ideo non resurgunt impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
