< Psalms 1 >
1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;
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.
2 But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:
That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.
3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.
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.
4 Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!
Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.
5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,
There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].
6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
