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.

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat 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 his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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 has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to 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] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

Therefore the wicked do not rise in 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 YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
