Psalmi 1

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

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

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

But his delight is in the law of YHWH; and in his law doth 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 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 Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

The wicked are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth 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 YHWH knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.
