Псалтирь 1

1 Блажен муж, иже не иде на совет нечестивых, и на пути грешных не ста, и на седалищи губителей не седе:

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

2 но в законе Господни воля его, и в законе Его поучится день и нощь.

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

3 И будет яко древо насажденое при исходищих вод, еже плод свой даст во время свое, и лист его не отпадет: и вся, елика аще творит, успеет.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

4 Не тако нечестивии, не тако: но яко прах, егоже возметает ветр от лица земли.

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

5 Сего ради не воскреснут нечестивии на суд, ниже грешницы в совет праведных.

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

6 Яко весть Господь путь праведных, и путь нечестивых погибнет.

Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
