< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[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 the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth 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 The wicked are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth 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 the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.
quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.]
