Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:

2 But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium eius non defluet: et omnia quæcumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

4 The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

5 So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

6 For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
