Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

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

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

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.

4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

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

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgement, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

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