Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
or set foot on the path of sinners,
or sit in the seat of the scornful -
But whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates day and night on it.
That one is like a tree planted by streams of water,
yielding its fruit in season,
whose leaf does not wither,
and who prospers in all things.
