Psalms 1

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 Ref O 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;

2 Ref But -- in the law of Jehovah `is' his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

3 Ref And 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.

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

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

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

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

1 Ref Blessed 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:

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

3 Ref And 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.

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

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

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