Psalms Chapter 1

Conversational Yahveh Covenant

BOOK 1

1 People are blessed that don’t

                        take advice from the wicked

                        or stand among sinners

                        or sit with scoffers,

                           2but delight in the Law of Yahveh

                        and meditate on it day and night.

            3 They’re like trees planted beside a river

                        that bear fruit in season,

                        whose leaves don’t wither.

            They’re successful at what they do.

            4 Sinners aren’t like that:

                        they’re like chaff that wind blows away;

                        5 they won’t withstand judgment

                              or stand among the godly.

            6 Yahveh watches over the godly,

                        but the wicked perish.                                                

Ps 1:1-6
