Wandering in the Psalms

Ps. 1

1Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

or sit in the company of mockers,

2but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

and who meditates on his law day and night.

3That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

whatever they do prospers.

Being planted by streams of water. Not a river, but an irrigation ditch.  Intentional and firm. Diverted but useful. I can only stand if I delight and meditate in the law and on the law, day and night.  I bear fruit in season and I don’t fade away. 

                                                                       

      Happy is

who does not

walk, stand and sit

with wicked sinners and mockers.

BUT Takes pleasure in and ponders on

The law…

Then I will be transplanted by what nourishes me…
