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;

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

3 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.

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

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