Psalm 1:1-3
New American Standard Bible
BOOK 1
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1 Blessed is the person who (A)does not walk in the (B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the [a](C)path of sinners,
Nor (D)sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his (E)delight is (F)in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates (G)day and (H)night.
3 He will be like (I)a tree planted by [b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its [c]leaf does not wither;
And [d]in whatever he does, (J)he prospers.
Proverbs 3:5-6

And (B)do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways (C)acknowledge Him,
And He will (D)make your paths straight.

31 Yet those who [a]wait for the Lord

They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
