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

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate 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.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth 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 driveth 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 knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.
