Psalms 1

1 How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

2 That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

3 And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.

4 Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

5 There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

6 For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
