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 walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

2 Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius 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 eius non defluet: et omnia quaecumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

And he shall 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 proiicit ventus a facie terrae.

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

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

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