Psalmorum 1

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

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

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

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

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

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

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

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

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
