Psalms 1

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
