Psalm 1 - Heartlight

¹Blessed is the man

who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

or set foot on the path of sinners,

or sit in the seat of mockers.

²But his delight is in the Law of the LORD,

and on His law he meditates day and night.

³He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

yielding its fruit in season,

whose leaf does not wither,

and who prospers in all he does.

⁴Not so the wicked!

For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

⁵Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

⁶For the LORD guards the path of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

— Psalm 1
