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 hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall 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 like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall 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, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth 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 wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council 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 knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
