Summary: Psalm 1: the tree planted by streams of water.

## Greek text

καὶ πάλιν ἐν ἄλλῳ προφήτῃ λέγει· Καὶ ἔσται ὁ ταῦτα ποιῶν ὡς τὸ ξύλον τὸ πεφυτευμένον παρὰ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὑδάτων, ὃ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ δώσει ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ φύλλον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπορυήσεται, καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἂν ποιῇ, κατευοδωθήσεται.

## English translation (Claude)

And again in another prophet he says, “And the one who does these things will be like the tree planted by the streams of water, which will give its fruit in its season, and its leaf will not fall off, and everything he does will prosper.
