Psalms 1

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.
