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 wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth 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 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 streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth 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 driveth 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 knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
