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 blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

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

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates 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 has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

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

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

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

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

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