Псалтирь 1

1 Блажен муж, иже не иде на совет нечестивых, и на пути грешных не ста, и на седалищи губителей не седе:

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

2 но в законе Господни воля его, и в законе Его поучится день и нощь.

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

3 И будет яко древо насажденое при исходищих вод, еже плод свой даст во время свое, и лист его не отпадет: и вся, елика аще творит, успеет.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.

4 Не тако нечестивии, не тако: но яко прах, егоже возметает ветр от лица земли.

Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

5 Сего ради не воскреснут нечестивии на суд, ниже грешницы в совет праведных.

Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

6 Яко весть Господь путь праведных, и путь нечестивых погибнет.

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
