Blessed are thosewho do not follow the advice of the wicked, take the path that sinners tread or sit with the scoffers. The law of the Lord is their delight, they meditate on it night and day. They are like trees planted by streams of water, they yield their fruits in season, and their leaves never wither. from Psalm 1: 1-3
