Dee Psalme I

Dee 1 Psalm

Jesäajent es dee Maun dee nijch enn dee Gottloose äa Rot jewaundelt haft, un dee nijch enn dee Sinda äare Wäaj jestone haft, un dee nijch enn dee Spatta äare Set jesäte haft.

Oba sien Fejneaje es bloos enn däm Herr Gott sien Jesats, un dee sikj Dach en Nacht enn sien Jesats besenne deit.

Un hee saul jeplaunt senne soo aus en Boom bie dee Wota Streem, dee äare Frucht brinjt to rajchte Tiet; sien Blaut woat nijch fewalkje; un aules daut hee deit woat am jelinje.

Oba dee Gottloose sent nijch soo; oba sent soo aus daut Sprie daut dee Wint fepliesat.

Doaromm woare dee Onnjerajchte nijch enn daut Jerejcht bestone, uk nijch Sinda enn dee Jerajchte äare Fesaumlunje.

Dan dee Herr Gott kjant dee Jerajchte äa Wajch, oba dee Gottloose äa Wajch woat feschwinje.

BOOK I

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1

Blessed is the one(A)
    who does not walk(B) in step with the wicked(C)
or stand in the way(D) that sinners take(E)
    or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)
    and who meditates(J) on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree(K) planted by streams(L) of water,(M)
    which yields its fruit(N) in season
and whose leaf(O) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(P)

Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff(Q)
    that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand(R) in the judgment,(S)
    nor sinners in the assembly(T) of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over(U) the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.(V)
