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 one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

2 sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and 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 ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur.

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

4 Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.

Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

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

6 quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.

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