Psalms 1

1 ¹ Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand among sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers. ² but his delight is in the law of our Father, and on his law he meditates day and night. ³ He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither — and whatever he does prospers.

⁴ Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind drives away. ⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. ⁶ For our Father watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
