1 Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum
et in via peccatorum non stetit
et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit
2 sed in lege Domini voluntas eius
et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte
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
4 non sic impii ÷non sic:
sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus ÷a facie terrae:
5 ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio
neque peccatores in consilio iustorum
6 quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum
et iter impiorum peribit
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
