Psalmi 1

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

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate 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 as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

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

Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

5 Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgement, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
