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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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