Psalmi 1

1 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

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 Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

but his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

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 Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

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

5 Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.

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