CARTEA ÎNTÂI

Psalmul 1

Ferice de omul(A) care nu se duce la sfatul celor răi,
nu se opreşte pe calea celor păcătoşi
şi nu se aşează pe scaunul(B) celor batjocoritori!
Ci îşi găseşte plăcerea(C) în Legea Domnului
şi zi şi noapte cugetă la Legea(D) Lui!
El este ca un pom sădit(E) lângă un izvor de apă,
care îşi dă rodul la vremea lui
şi ale cărui frunze nu se veştejesc;
tot ce începe duce la bun sfârşit(F).
Nu tot aşa este cu cei răi,
ci ei sunt ca pleava(G), pe care o spulberă vântul.
De aceea, cei răi nu pot ţine capul sus în ziua judecăţii,
nici păcătoşii, în adunarea celor neprihăniţi.
Căci Domnul(H) cunoaşte calea celor neprihăniţi,
dar calea păcătoşilor duce la pieire.

BOOK I

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one(A)
    who does not walk(B) in step with the wicked(C)
or stand in the way(D) that sinners take(E)
    or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)
    and who meditates(J) on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree(K) planted by streams(L) of water,(M)
    which yields its fruit(N) in season
and whose leaf(O) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(P)

Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff(Q)
    that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand(R) in the judgment,(S)
    nor sinners in the assembly(T) of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over(U) the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.(V)

Book One

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the man[a]
    who (A)walks not in (B)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in (C)the way of sinners,
    nor (D)sits in (E)the seat of (F)scoffers;
but his (G)delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
    and on his (H)law he meditates day and night.

He is like (I)a tree
    planted by (J)streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its (K)leaf does not wither.
(L)In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
    but are like (M)chaff that the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked (N)will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in (O)the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord (P)knows (Q)the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
