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 eius, et in lege eius 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 eius 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 proiicit 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 iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

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

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
