תהילים 1

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

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

2 כי אם בתורת יהוה חפצו ובתורתו יהגה יומם ולילה

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

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

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

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

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 כי-יודע יהוה דרך צדיקים ודרך רשעים תאבד

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
