A Rendition of Psalm 1

1 Happy the mana
who walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
and standeth not in the way of sinners,
and sitteth not in the seat of scorners.
2But in the law of YWHW is his delight,
and in His law he meditateth night and day.b
3And he [isc] as a tree planted by rivuletsd of water,
that beareth his fruit in its season,
and its leaf efadeth not,
and all he doth flourishethf.
4 Not so the wicked, but as chaff the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the wicked standeth not in the judgment,
nor sinners in the gcongregation of the righteous
6For YHWH knoweth the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is lost.

a alt., “Oh the happiness of the man”
b need to check if “day and night” would be better or not.
c see nt. (Darby) here: same reason for “Happy the man” rather than “Happy is…”.
d de, YLT.
e alt., doth not fade
f alt., prospereth
g alt., assemblly
