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 that walketh not in the counsel 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 his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth 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 [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

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

The wicked are not so; but are as 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 the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
