Psalm 1/Text/Lines

Text (Hebrew)	Verse	Text (CBC)
אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי־הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּעֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים	1a	Happy is the one who has not walked in the counsel of wicked people,
וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד	1b	has not taken a stand in the way of sinful people,
וּבְמוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב׃	1c	and has not settled in the dwelling place of insolent people!
כִּ֤י אִ֥ם בְּתוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ	2a	Instead, his delight is in YHWH's instruction,
וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ יֶהְגֶּ֗ה יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה׃	2b	and he meditates on his instruction day and night.
וְֽהָיָ֗ה כְּעֵץ֮ שָׁת֪וּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵ֫י מָ֥יִם	3a	And he will become like a tree transplanted beside water channels
אֲשֶׁ֤ר פִּרְי֨וֹ ׀ יִתֵּ֬ן בְּעִתּ֗וֹ	3b	that gives its fruit in its season
וְעָלֵ֥הוּ לֹֽא־יִבּ֑וֹל	3c	and whose leaves do not wither.
וְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃	3d	And he will cause all that he does to flourish.
לֹא־כֵ֥ן הָרְשָׁעִ֑ים	4a	Not so the wicked people!
כִּ֥י אִם־כַּ֝מֹּ֗ץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶ֥נּוּ רֽוּחַ׃	4b	Instead, they will be like chaff that the wind drives away.
עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ לֹא־יָקֻ֣מוּ רְ֭שָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט	5a	Therefore, wicked people will not stand firm in the judgment,
וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים בַּעֲדַ֥ת צַדִּיקִֽים׃	5b	and sinful people [will not stand] in the group of righteous people.
כִּֽי־יוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֭הוָה דֶּ֣רֶךְ צַדִּיקִ֑ים	6a	Because YHWH cares for the way of righteous people,
וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃	6b	and the way of wicked people will come to an end.
