Psalms 1 תְּהִלִּים
Hebrew · transliteration · JPS 1917
1אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי־הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּעֲצַ֪ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד וּבְמוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב׃
ashre-ha'ish asher lo halakh ba'atzat resha'im uvederekh chatta'im lo amad uvemoshav letzim lo yashav
HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.
2כִּ֤י אִ֥ם בְּתוֹרַ֥ת יְהוָ֗ה חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ יֶהְגֶּ֗ה יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה׃
ki im betorat ADONAI cheftzo uvetorato yehge yomam valayla
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.
3וְֽהָיָ֗ה כְּעֵץ֮ שָׁת֪וּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵ֫י מָ֥יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר פִּרְי֨וֹ ׀ יִתֵּ֬ן בְּעִתּ֗וֹ וְעָלֵ֥הוּ לֹֽא־יִבּ֑וֹל וְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃
vehaya ke'etz shatul al-palge mayim asher piryo yitten be'itto ve'alehu lo-yibbol vekhol asher-ya'ase yatzliach
And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.
4לֹא־כֵ֥ן הָרְשָׁעִ֑ים כִּ֥י אִם־כַּ֝מֹּ֗ץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶ֥נּוּ רֽוּחַ׃
lo-khen harsha'im ki im-kammotz asher-tiddefennu ruach
Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5עַל־כֵּ֤ן ׀ לֹא־יָקֻ֣מוּ רְ֭שָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים בַּעֲדַ֥ת צַדִּיקִֽים׃
al-ken lo-yakumu resha'im bammishpat vechatta'im ba'adat tzaddikim
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6כִּֽי־יוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֭הוָה דֶּ֣רֶךְ צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃
ki-yodea ADONAI derekh tzaddikim vederekh resha'im toved
For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
