< תהילים 1 >
אַשְֽׁרֵי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָֽׁב׃ | 1 |
Happy are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers.
כִּי אִם בְּתוֹרַת יְהֹוָה חֶפְצוֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָתוֹ יֶהְגֶּה יוֹמָם וָלָֽיְלָה׃ | 2 |
But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night.
וְֽהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵי ־ מָיִם אֲשֶׁר פִּרְיוֹ ׀ יִתֵּן בְּעִתּוֹ וְעָלֵהוּ לֹֽא־יִבּוֹל וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃ | 3 |
They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.
לֹא־כֵן הָרְשָׁעִים כִּי אִם־כַּמֹּץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶנּוּ רֽוּחַ׃ | 4 |
Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind.
עַל־כֵּן ׀ לֹא־יָקֻמוּ רְשָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט וְחַטָּאִים בַּעֲדַת צַדִּיקִֽים׃ | 5 |
So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.
כִּֽי־יוֹדֵעַ יְהֹוָה דֶּרֶךְ צַדִּיקִים וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ | 6 |
For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.
