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;

Blagor možu, ki ne hodi po sovetu krivičnih in ne stopa na grešnikov pot ter ne sedeva v zboru zasmehovalcev;

2 But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

Nego veselje njegovo je v postavi Gospodovi, in postavo njegovo premišljuje noč in dan.

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.

Je namreč kakor drevo zasajeno ob vodnih potocih, katero sad svoj rodi o svojem času, in listje njegovo ne odpada: zatorej karkoli bode počel, posrečilo se mu bode.

4 Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

Ne tako krivični; nego kakor pleve, katere veter raznaša.

5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

Zatorej ne ostanejo krivični v óni sodbi; ne grešniki v zboru pravičnih.

6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

Ker Gospod pozna pravičnih pot; pot pa krivičnih izgine.
