Psalm 1 - The Two Ways

Happy are those
  who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
 or take the path that sinners tread,
  or sit in the seat of scoffers;
 2 but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
  and on his law they meditate day and night.
 3 They are like trees
  planted by streams of water,
 which yield their fruit in its season,
  and their leaves do not wither.
 In all that they do, they prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,
  but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
  nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
 6 for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
  but the way of the wicked will perish.
