Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
— Psalm 1
He shall judge between the nations,
and shall decide disputes for many peoples;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore.
— Isaiah 2:4
Down by the Riverside
Well, I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside.
I’m gonna study war no more.
Well, I'm gonna put on my long white robe
Down by the riverside.
I’m gonna study war no more.
I’m gonna put on my golden slippers
Down by the riverside.
I’m gonna study war no more.
I’m gonna put on my starry crown
Down by the riverside.
I’m gonna study war no more.
– Mahalia Jackson
