Blessed is the person
who attends to companions,
or follows the way of collaborators,
or joins the ecstasy of grace.
The faithful delight in our covenant with God,
and meditate on Her wisdom day and night.
The hopeful are like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season,
its leaf does not wither,
its branches absorb the breath of God.
Not so the disruptive!
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore, the troublesome will not rest assured,
the faithful will have untroubled hearts.
the troublemaker’s fruit is perishable,
the hopeful She watches over
and they will endure forever.
