The gate of the Psalter: two ways and two ends. The blessed man walks not, stands not, sits not with the wicked; his delight is Jehovah's law, meditated day and night, a tree planted by streams of water, fruitful and unwithering. The wicked are not so: chaff which the wind driveth away, unable to stand in the judgment. Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; the way of the wicked shall perish.
