Psalm Challenge Psalm 1

 This began as an exercise in what the Psalms mean to Me.

A friend Robert Geiss tweeted His Challenge from Athens.

I lost track of Him.

Back to the Beginning.

Psalm 1.

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man¹

who ^awalks not in ^bthe counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in ^cthe way of sinners,

nor ^dsits in ^ethe seat of ^fscoffers;

2  but his ^gdelight is in the law² of the LORD,

and on his ^hlaw he meditates day and night.

3  He is like ⁱa tree

planted by ^jstreams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its ^kleaf does not wither.

^lIn all that he does, he prospers.

4  The wicked are not so,

but are like ^mchaff that the wind drives away.

5  Therefore the wicked ⁿwill not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in ^othe congregation of the righteous;

6  for the LORD ^pknows ^qthe way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

Mary:

My Interpretation is quite simple to decipher:

Be Good, Follow what is Morally Right.

You know it, of Course, When You See it.

Don’t Follow the Path of the Wicked.

You can recognize The Wicked only Part of the Time.

They often wear a disguise, a Mask, a Cloak to Fool You.

Learn to avoid being taken Hostage,

Mistakenly Paying a Robber,

Don’t follow them.

God will See You through.
