Psalm 1:1-3

Book One

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Blessed is the man [1]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
 2 but his delight is in the law [2] of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

 3 He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
