Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
Ā Ā Ā Ā who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
Ā Ā Ā Ā nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
Ā Ā Ā Ā and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree
Ā Ā Ā Ā planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
Ā Ā Ā Ā and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
Ā Ā Ā Ā but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Ā Ā Ā Ā nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
Ā Ā Ā Ā but the way of the wicked will perish.
āJesus answered, āThe most important is, āHear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.ā The second is this: āYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.ā There is no other commandment greater than these.ā - Mark 12:29-31
