Psalmorum 1

1 Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:

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 Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

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

3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium eius non defluet: et omnia quæcumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

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 Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

5 Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

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

6 Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.

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