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 one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 will 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.

Not so with the wicked; instead, they 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 the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
