Psalm 1

Blessed is the man who does not walk

In the counsel of the wicked

Or stand in the seat of mockers

But his delight is in the law of the Lord

And on his law he mediates day and night

He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not whither.

Whatever he does prospers.
