The way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruits in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:1-3
