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.

BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

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

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by 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 like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.

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

Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
