Psalmi 1

1 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

2 Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

3 On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

4 Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

5 Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

6 Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.

For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
