| אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי־הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּעֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים | 1.1 | Happy is the one who has not walked in the counsel of wicked people, |
| וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד | 1.2 | has not taken a stand in the way of sinful people, |
| וּבְמוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב׃ | 1.3 | and has not settled in the dwelling place of insolent people! |
| כִּ֤י אִ֥ם בְּתוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ | 2.1 | Instead, his delight is in YHWH's instruction, |
| וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ יֶהְגֶּ֗ה יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה׃ | 2.2 | and he meditates on his instruction day and night. |
| וְֽהָיָ֗ה כְּעֵץ֮ שָׁת֪וּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵ֫י מָ֥יִם | 3.1 | And he will become like a tree transplanted beside water channels |
| אֲשֶׁ֤ר פִּרְי֨וֹ ׀ יִתֵּ֬ן בְּעִתּ֗וֹ | 3.2 | that gives its fruit in its season |
| וְעָלֵ֥הוּ לֹֽא־יִבּ֑וֹל | 3.3 | and whose leaves do not wither. |
| וְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃ | 3.4 | And he will cause all that he does to flourish. |
| לֹא־כֵ֥ן הָרְשָׁעִ֑ים | 4.1 | Not so the wicked people! |
| כִּ֥י אִם־כַּ֝מֹּ֗ץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶ֥נּוּ רֽוּחַ׃ | 4.2 | Instead, they will be like chaff that the wind drives away. |
| עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ לֹא־יָקֻ֣מוּ רְ֭שָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט | 5.1 | Therefore, wicked people will not stand firm in the judgment, |
| וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים בַּעֲדַ֥ת צַדִּיקִֽים׃ | 5.2 | and sinful people [will not stand] in the group of righteous people. |
| כִּֽי־יוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֭הוָה דֶּ֣רֶךְ צַדִּיקִ֑ים | 6.1 | Because YHWH cares for the way of righteous people, |
| וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ | 6.2 | and the way of wicked people will come to an end. |
