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.

“BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

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

But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts 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 is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth 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 unrighteous; They are like 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 judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly 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 righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
