Psalm 1 — Poeticized

How happy the one
That one
One…
Against a throng of sinners
Not marching to the wicked’s beat
Nor standing on the sinner’s street
Nor sitting on the scoffer’s seat
One, …
just one
But on God’s law both day and night
Meditating with pure delight
Thinking, feeding day and night.
How happy that one!
This one will be just like a tree
Each season precious fruit you’ll see
In all that’s done - prosperity
Full and verdant - all leaves and shoots
For near a stream are fixed all roots
Yes, by the stream comes forth good
fruits
Contrastively, are wicked shown
To be like chaff that wind has blown
Like chaff that wind has blown
On judgment day no godless stand
Nor sinners with the righteous band
No entry to the promised land
The Lord guides well the pure one’s path
But the way for wicked leads to wrath…
A fatal path that leads to wrath
One…
Against a throng of sinners.
How happy that one!
