Sermon for September 4th, 2016

Psalm One

1 WELL is the one who does not walk

In the ways of wicked people, 
Who does not stand in sinner's path
Who does not sit in scoffer's seat;

But whose will is turned to the teachings of the Lord
Who draws them out from dawn to dusk.

That one prospers like a well-planted tree
Near runnels of water, it returns ripe fruit
Neither leaf nor branch shall break and wither
All things work toward that one's good.

Not so, the wicked! Like wind-scattered dust
They will rise no more on reckoning day
Sinners cast out from the company of saints.

For God recalls the road of the righteous
But highways of the heinous lead straight to hell.
