תהילים 1

אַשְׁרֵי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָׁב׃

Ashrei ha'ish asher lo halach ba'atzat resha'im, uvderech chata'im lo amad, uvmoshav leitzim lo yashav.

Happy is the man who has not followed the counsel of the wicked, or taken the path of sinners, or joined the company of the insolent;

כִּי אִם־בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָה חֶפְצוֹ וּבְתוֹרָתוֹ יֶהְגֶּה יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה׃

Ki im betorat Adonai cheftzo, uvtorato yehege yomam valayla.

rather, the teaching of the LORD is his delight, and he studies

וְהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַל־פַּלְגֵי מָיִם אֲשֶׁר פִּרְיוֹ יִתֵּן בְּעִתּוֹ וְעָלֵהוּ לֹא־יִבּוֹל וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂה יַצְלִיחַ׃

Vehaya ke'etz shatul al palgei mayim, asher piryo yiten be'ito, ve'alehu lo yibol, vechol asher ya'ase yatzliach.

He is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, whose foliage never fades, and whatever it produces thrives.

לֹא־כֵן הָרְשָׁעִים כִּי אִם־כַּמֹּץ אֲשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶנּוּ רוּחַ׃

Lo chen haresha'im, ki im kamots asher tidfenu ruach.

Not so the wicked; rather, they are like chaff that wind blows away.

עַל־כֵּן לֹא־יָקֻמוּ רְשָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט וְחַטָּאִים בַּעֲדַת צַדִּיקִים׃

Al ken lo yakumu resha'im bamishpat, vechata'im ba'adat tzadikim.

Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners, in the assembly of the righteous.

כִּי־יוֹדֵעַ יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ צַדִּיקִים וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵד׃

Ki yode'a Adonai derech tzadikim, vederech resha'im toved.

For the LORD cherishes the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.
