Chapter 1.
Blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence. (Happy is the person, who goeth not in the counsel of the wicked; and walketh not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the chair of pestilence.) 
But his will is in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night. (But his delight is in the Law of the Lord; and he shall think about his Law day and night.) 
And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity. (And he shall be like a tree, which is planted beside the running water; it shall give its fruit at its proper time, and its leaves shall not fall down. Yea, everything, whatever he shall do, shall prosper.) 
Not so wicked men, not so; but they be as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth. (Not so the wicked, not so; but they be like the dust, which the wind bloweth away from off the face of the earth.) 
Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men nor (the) sinful in the council of (the) rightwise. (And so the wicked shall not stand long at the judgement; nor shall the sinners stand with the congregation of the righteous.) 
For the Lord knoweth the way of just men or For the Lord hath known the way of the rightwise; and the way of wicked men shall perish. (For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.)
