| 1 μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς |
1 Blessed is the man who does not guide his steps by ill counsel, or turn aside where sinners walk, or, where scornful souls gather, sit down to rest; 2 the man whose heart is set on the law of the Lord, on that law, day and night, his thoughts still dwell. 3 He stands firm as a tree planted by running water, ready to yield its fruit when the season comes, not a leaf faded; all that he does will prosper. 4 Not such, not such the wicked; the wicked are like chaff the wind sweeps away. 5 Not for the wicked, when judgement comes, to rise up and plead their cause; sinners will have no part in the reunion of the just. 6 They walk, the just, under the Lord’s protection; the path of the wicked, how soon is it lost to sight! | 1 Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit; 2 sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte. 3 Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur. 4 Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ. 5 Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum: 6 quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit. |
