The Book of Psalms.
Psalm 1.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in
the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season.
His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly
shall perish.
