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 does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

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

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, 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 produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

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

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

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

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
