Psalm 1

Blessed is the man, which went not unto the counsel of the ungodly, and stood not on the path of sinners, and sat not in the seat of the pestilent. But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by flowing waters, which shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall, and all whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Not so are the ungodly, not so, but they are like dust which the wind scattereth from the face of the earth. Therefore the ungodly shall not rise at the judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the ungodly shall perish.
