Translation by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546)
Psalmus 1
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): FRE
1 Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit; 2 sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte. 3 Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium ejus non defluet; et omnia quæcumque faciet prosperabuntur. 4 Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ. 5 Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum: 6 quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin
1 Wohl dem, der nicht wandelt im Rat der Gottlosen, noch tritt auf den Weg der Sünder, noch [sitzt]1, da die Spötter sitzen, 2 sondern hat Lust zum Gesetz des Herrn und redet von seinem [Gesetz]2 Tag und Nacht. 3 Der ist wie ein Baum, gepflanzet an den Wasserbächen, der seine Frucht bringet zu seiner Zeit, und seine Blätter verwelken nicht, und was er macht, das gerät wohl. 4 Aber so sind die Gottlosen nicht, sondern wie Spreu, die der Wind verstreuet. 5 Darum bleiben die Gottlosen nicht im Gerichte, noch die Sünder in der Gemeine der Gerechten. 6 Denn der Herr kennet den Weg der Gerechten, aber der Gottlosen Weg vergehet.
