< Psalms 1 >

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;
Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.
2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.
4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
