"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. But his delight
is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and
night. 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."
Psalm 1:1-3
