The Nation's Psalm

Scripture Reference: Psalm 1
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;  2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.  3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither;  And whatever he does shall prosper.  4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.   5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
