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 who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, 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 will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

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

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

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

Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

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

For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
