"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (Psalm 1:1-3).
How blessed indeed we find ourselves
To WALK NOT as the counselors say,
Who author books upon our shelves
That teach us how to go astray.
How blessed indeed we are as well
To STAND NOT in the sinners' path.
It is the way that leads to hell,
Destruction, and eternal wrath.
How blessed indeed we are at last
To SIT NOT in the scorners' seat.
When all their mockery has passed,
The One they mock, they yet shall meet.
How blessed indeed is meditation
That we NURTURE day and night
In the Word of our salvation
That teaches us to live aright.
How blessed indeed that we may grow,
Thus NURTURED as a fruitful tree,
As in the Word of God we know
We have the truth that makes us free!
