תהילים
Psalms
A hundred and fifty, and you can begin at any one of them.
The opening
אַשְֽׁרֵי־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָֽׁב׃
The praises of a man (are) that he did not walk in the counsel of the wicked, and [(in consequence)] did not stand in the path of sinners, and [(in consequence)] did not sit in the seat of scoffers.
כִּי אִם בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָה חֶפְצוֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָתוֹ יֶהְגֶּה יוֹמָם וָלָֽיְלָה׃
But in the Torah of the L rd is his desire [(whence it is seen that sitting with scoffers leads to neglect of Torah study)], and in his Torah he meditates day and night.
