Psalms 1

1 BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

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 the LORD; and in 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 streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he 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 Not so the wicked; but they 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 the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
