Week of September 5, 2010, Psalm 1
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is Psalm 1, from several different translations – first from The New International Version, then from The Message:
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
1 How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
2-3 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.
You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
4-5 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust—
Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.
6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.
Dear God, You are a great God who blesses us, as we delight in and are thrilled with Your Word. Your Word is with us day and night as we reflect on it, as we see Your Word that leads and guides us in our daily life. So chart our road, Lord; continue watching over us – our comings in, our goings out – every part of who we are.
Jesus, Your Word is ever present, for You are the Incarnate God, the Living Word, in our midst – in the midst of disciples two thousand years ago, and in our midst as we lift Your name on high, as we walk in step with Your Spirit.
Thanks, Jesus, for Your love, Your wisdom, Your peace, Your presence in our lives – always. Amen.
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His strength and His great peace. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
