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 ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

but his delight is in the LORD’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 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 leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit 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 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 the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
