Psalms 1

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

1O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

1Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

2But--in the law of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

2But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

3And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

3He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

4The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

4Not so the wicked: But--as chaff that wind driveth away!

4The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

4The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

5Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

5For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.

6For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.

6Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
