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.

אשרי האיש-- אשר לא הלך בעצת רשעים ובדרך חטאים לא עמד ובמושב לצים לא ישב

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

כי אם בתורת יהוה חפצו ובתורתו יהגה יומם ולילה

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.

והיה-- כעץ שתול על-פלגי-מים אשר פריו יתן בעתו--ועלהו לא-יבול וכל אשר-יעשה יצליח

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

לא-כן הרשעים כי אם-כמץ אשר-תדפנו רוח

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

על-כן לא-יקמו רשעים--במשפט וחטאים בעדת צדיקים

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

כי-יודע יהוה דרך צדיקים ודרך רשעים תאבד
