The company of mockers

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly;
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord
and on it,
he meditates day and night.

He shall be like a tree planted by springs of water
which yields its fruit in due season,
and whose leaf shall not wither.
And whatsoever he does will prosper.

Not so the wicked.
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous.
But the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
Psalm 1
