Psalmi 1

1 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

2 Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

3 On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
