< Psalmorum 1 >

1 Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:
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 Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.
But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 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.
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 Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.
The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.
So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
