MHRPC: Psalm 1B

Psalm 1B: Psalm 1

Giesen, 88.88.88. [F]

1. ¹ How blessed the man who does not walk
        Where wicked men would guide his feet,
Nor stands in paths with sinful men,
        Nor sits upon the scorner's seat.
² Jehovah's law is his delight,
        His meditations day and night.

2. ³ He shall be like a growing tree
        Implanted by the waterside
Which in its season bears its fruit
        And has a leaf that does not fade.
In all that may his hands employ
        He shall prosperity enjoy.

3. ⁴ Not so the wicked; they are all
        Like chaff the wind will drive away.
⁵ They shall not in the judgment stand,
        Nor sinners with the righteous stay.
⁶ The LORD the way of just men knows;
        The wicked to destruction goes.
