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.

Salig den Mand, som ikke går efter gudløses Råd, står på Synderes Vej eller sidder i Spotteres Lag,

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

men har Lyst til HERRENs Lov, og som grunder på hans Lov både Dag og Nat.

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.

Han er som et Træ, der, plantet ved Bække, bærer sin Frugt til rette Tid, og Bladene visner ikke: Alt, hvad han gør, får han Lykke til.

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

De gudløse derimod er som Avner, Vinden bortvejrer.

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

Derfor består de gudløse ikke i Dommen og Syndere ej i retfærdiges Menighed.

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

Thi HERREN kender retfærdiges Vej, men gudløses Vej brydes af.
