PIRMĀ GRĀMATA
Divi dzīves ceļi
1 Svētīts, kas ļaundaru padomā nestaigā,
uz grēcinieku ceļa nestāj
un paļātāju pulkā nesēž,
2 kam par Kunga bauslību prieks,
kas dudina viņa bauslību dienu un nakti!
3 Tas aug kā koks,
stādīts pie ūdeņu straumēm, –
augļus tas laikā nes, lapas tam nenovīst,
ko tas dara, viss izdodas.
4 Bet ļaundariem tā nav –
tos kā pelavas putina vējš.
5 Tādēļ ļaundari nepastāv tiesā,
nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē,
6 jo taisno ceļu Kungs zina,
bet ļaundaru ceļš ir pazušana!
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
