Psalm 1

Blessed are the man and the woman

    who have grown beyond their greed

    and have put an end to their hatred

    and no longer nourish illusions.

But they delight in the way things are

    and keep their hearts open, day and night.

They are like trees planted near flowing rivers,

    which bear fruit when they are ready.

Their leaves will not fall or wither.

    Everything they do will succeed.
