תהילים 1

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

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

2 כי אם בתורת יהוה חפצו ובתורתו יהגה יומם ולילה

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

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

And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

4 לא-כן הרשעים כי אם-כמץ אשר-תדפנו רוח

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

6 כי-יודע יהוה דרך צדיקים ודרך רשעים תאבד

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