PSALM 1
A blessed person
does not follow wicked schemes,
or support sinful ways,
or keep company with the scornful.
Instead, the Lord's teaching
delights him
and the teaching from the Lord
he whispers day and night.
And so, he is like a tree
planted by ever-flowing streams
that yields fruit continually
with leaves that don't fade.
Whatever he does flourishes.
No so the wicked.
They are like chaff blown away.
So the wicked will not be able to stand in face of justice
nor sinners in the midst of a righteous gathering.
For the journey of the righteous is well-known to the Lord,
but the journey of the wicked will be forgotten.
