Psalm 1 - Ezra

Happy is the man
    who does not follow the advice of the wicked,
nor take his stand on the sinner's road,
    nor sit at ease among the scornful.
But his delight is in the teaching of the Lord,
    reflecting on His teaching day and night.

The Lord is One, and his name is One, 
for fame,​ for glory and for praise.

And you can talk only about a great weariness.
