Psalmorum 1

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

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

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

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, 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 eius non defluet: et omnia quaecumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

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

Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

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

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

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

For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
