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 advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly 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 Yahweh, 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 produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 non sic impii non sic sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus a facie terrae

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

5 ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum

So 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 Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
