From Psalm 1:1-3:  “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; but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night.  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.”
