Psalms 1

1 How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

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

5 There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
