Psalm 1

1. Blessed are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked
   or linger in the way of sinners
   or sit down among those who mock.
2. But their delight is in the law of the Lord
   and on that law they meditate day and night.
3. They are like trees planted along a river bank
   which yield their fruit in due season
4. Their leaves also do not wither:
   and look, whatever they do it shall prosper.
5. As for the wicked it is not so with them
   but they are like the chaff,
   which is driven away by the wind.
6. Therefore the wicked shall not be able to stand
   when judgement comes:
   nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
7. For the Lord watches over - the way of the righteous:
   but the way of the wicked is doomed.
