Psalm 1 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[1] Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
^[2] but his delight is in Yahweh’s^§ law. On his law he meditates day and night.
^[3] He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
^[4] The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
^[5] Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
^[6] For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 1:2 “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “Lord” (all caps) in other translations.

^[1] μακαριος ανηρ ος ουκ επορευθη εν βουλη ασεβων και εν οδω αμαρτωλων ουκ εστη και επι καθεδραν λοιμων ουκ εκαθισεν
^[2] αλλ η εν τω νομω κυριου το θελημα αυτου και εν τω νομω αυτου μελετησει ημερας και νυκτος
^[3] και εσται ως το ξυλον το πεφυτευμενον παρα τας διεξοδους των υδατων ο τον καρπον αυτου δωσει εν καιρω αυτου και το φυλλον αυτου ουκ απορρυησεται και παντα οσα αν ποιη κατευοδωθησεται
^[4] ουχ ουτως οι ασεβεις ουχ ουτως αλλ η ως ο χνους ον εκριπτει ο ανεμος απο προσωπου της γης
^[5] δια τουτο ουκ αναστησονται ασεβεις εν κρισει ουδε αμαρτωλοι εν βουλη δικαιων
^[6] οτι γινωσκει κυριος οδον δικαιων και οδος ασεβων απολειται
