Psalm 1


By Mark Bishop

How blessed is he who follows not the words of a wicked man
who keeps his feet from treading where the sinners often stand
He will not take the seat of a scoffer

Instead he loves the way of God who's words he ponders all day long
Like an oak by a gentle stream who's roots run deep and strong
He grows by living water

And yields a faithful harvest as the season comes to him
His vibrant leaves shall not decay but life is found in every limb
Whatever this man does shall prosper

For the wicked man it is not so he's chaff swept out when strong winds blow
He will not stand before his judge instead his lot is pain and woe
There are no sinners where the righteous gather

For the way of the godly is regarded by the Lord
But He shall end the wicked's way and all that they led toward
All apart from God shall wither
