Psalms 1
1Blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence. (Happy is the person, who goeth not in the counsel of the wicked; and walketh not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the chair of pestilence.)
2But his will is in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night. (But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and he shall think about his Law day and night.)
3And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity. (And he shall be like a tree, which is planted beside the running water; it shall give its fruit at its proper time, and its leaves shall not fall down. Yea, everything, whatever he shall do, shall prosper.)
4Not so wicked men, not so; but they be as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth. (Not so the wicked, not so; but they be like the dust, which the wind bloweth away from off the face of the earth.)
5Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men [nor (the) sinful in the council of (the) rightwise]. (And so the wicked shall not stand long at the judgement; nor shall the sinners stand with the congregation of the righteous.)
6For the Lord knoweth the way of just men [or For the Lord hath known the way of the rightwise]; and the way of wicked men shall perish. (For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.)
