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 that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

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 in his law doth he meditate 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.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

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

The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

Therefore the ungodly 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 the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
