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 proicit ventus a facie terrae

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

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