23. Psalm 1:1-3

24. How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers!

25. Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.

26. He is like a
tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.

27. Whatever he does
prospers.
