Psalms 1

PSALM 1.
Beatus vir.
The happiness of the just and the evil state of the wicked.
1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:
2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whosoever he shall do shall prosper.
4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Tehillim (Psa) 1

Book I: Psalms 1–41
1How blessed are those
who reject the advice of the wicked,
don’t stand on the way of sinners
or sit where scoffers sit!
2Their delight
is in Adonai’s Torah;
on his Torah they meditate
day and night.
3They are like trees planted by streams —
they bear their fruit in season,
their leaves never wither,
everything they do succeeds.
4Not so the wicked,
who are like chaff driven by the wind.
5For this reason the wicked
won’t stand up to the judgment,
nor will sinners
at the gathering of the righteous.
6For Adonai watches over
the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked
is doomed.
