Psalmi 1

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

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

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

but his delight is in the LORD’s law. On his law he meditates day and 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

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

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

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

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

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

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