Psalm 1

by Clément Tendo

Leader: ¹ Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
  or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.

ALL: ² But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.

Leader: ³ They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.

ALL: Their leaves never wither,
  and they prosper in all they do.

Leader: ⁴ But not the wicked!
  They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
  ⁵ They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
  Sinners will have no place among the godly.

ALL: ⁶ For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
  but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
