O happy one walking
Not in godless plans
Lest their paths standing
Where scoffer he bands
But the way of the Word
His desire and delight
On the law of the Lord
Ponders day and night
He’ll be like a tree
Planted by the stream
Bearing fruit and seed
Its leaf be ever green
What he does matures
But not so wicked men
They are like manures
When buried yet again
They will not then stand
On the judgement day
Sinners will be banned
But the righteous they may
For the Lord he knows
The righteous their way
But wickedness shows
And will fade away
PSALM 1 — for Elijah on your fourteenth birthday.
