David and other people wrote songs and prayers to God. They are in the Bible, in a book called Psalms.
The very first Psalm talks about two paths. One path follows God. The other path goes away from God.
A person who loves God's words is like a tree planted by a river. Its roots drink lots of water, so it grows strong and full of fruit!
