Salm 1

Iż-żewġ triqat tal-bniedem
Hienja dawk li niżlu fl-ilma, kollhom tama fis-salib. (Awtur tat-2 seklu) 

Hieni l-bniedem li ma jimxix fuq il-pariri tal-ħżiena, †
u ma jżommx fi triq il-ħatjin, *
anqas ma joqgħod fil-laqgħat taż-żeblieħa;
imma l-għaxqa tiegħu fil-liġi tal-Mulej, *
u lejl u nhar jaħseb fil-liġi tiegħu. 

Hu bħal siġra mħawla ħdejn nixxigħat tal-ilma, *
li tagħmel il-frott fi żmienha,
u l-weraq tagħha ma jidbielx; *
hu jirnexxi f’kulma jagħmel. 

Mhux hekk il-ħżiena, mhux hekk; *
iżda huma bħal tibna li jtajjarha r-riħ.
Għalhekk il-ħżiena ma jifilħux għall-ħaqq, *
ma joqogħdux il-ħatja fil-ġemgħat tat-tajbin. 

Għax triq it-tajbin il-Mulej jafha, *
imma triq il-ħżiena tintemm fix-xejn. 

Glorja.

Ant. 1: Fis-salib tal-Mulej, Alla wriena s-siġra tal-ħajja.

Ant. 2: Jien għamilt is-Sultan tiegħi fuq Sijon.

Psalm 1
There are two ways a man may take

They are happy who, putting all their trust in the cross, have plunged into the water of life (from an author of the second century).

Happy indeed is the man *
who follows not the counsel of the wicked;
nor lingers in the way of sinners *
nor sits in the company of scorners,
but whose delight is the law of the Lord *
and who ponders his law day and night.

He is like a tree that is planted *
beside the flowing waters,
that yields its fruit in due season *
and whose leaves shall never fade;
and all that he does shall prosper. *
Not so are the wicked, not so!

For they like winnowed chaff *
shall be driven away by the wind.
When the wicked are judged they shall not stand, *
nor find room among those who are just;
for the Lord guards the way of the just *
but the way of the wicked leads to doom.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
