1:1 beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum et in via peccatorum non stetit et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit 1:1. Blessed 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:
1:2 sed in lege Domini voluntas eius et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte 1:2. But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
1:3 et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo et folium eius non defluet et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur 1:3. And 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 whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
1:4 non sic impii non sic sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus a facie terrae 1:4. Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
1:5 ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum 1:5. Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
1:6 quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum et iter impiorum peribit 1:6. For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
