1:1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. 1:2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. 1:3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
