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 one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 the LORD, and on his law he meditates 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.

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

Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the 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 shall not 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 knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
