Scripture
Psalm 1:1-6
   Blessed is the man
        who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
    or stand in the way of sinners
        or sit in the seat of mockers.
    [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
        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 season
    and whose leaf does not wither.
        Whatever he does prospers.
    [4] Not so the wicked!
        They are like chaff
        that the wind blows away.
    [5] Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
        nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
    [6] For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
        but the way of the wicked will perish.
