Psalm 1

God's blessing falls on the man who rejects the wickedness way refuses walking along with sinners staying upright no matter what scoffers say This man is delighted by God's holy law seeking to make it his meditation all of the day and even in the night so to learn more of God on every occasion A well planted tree resembles this man for it also bears good seasoned fruit as streaming water bears it's leaf so prospering it does suit The wind drives the wicked away likened to the chaff as before for they can't stand in judgement as sinners at the righteous door The righteous way the Lord knows well for God's eyes penetrates everything showing the wicked and their ways will perish as God judges sin AUTHOR NOTES: 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 vs 1-6 (ESV)
