Psalm 1:1-6 (NIV)
"Blessed is the one who does not walk
in step with the wicked or stand in the way
that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in
the law of the LORD,
and who meditates
on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted
by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither
— whatever they do prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff that
the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked
will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD watches over
the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked
leads to destruction."
