Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

[Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit;

2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur.

4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.

quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.]
