Psalm 1: Read, Pray, Study and Contemplate Daily in May

and this is the New Revised Standard Edition which I chose to use because of its inclusive language.

Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers;

2but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law they meditate day and night.

3They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither. In all that they do, they prosper.

4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

6for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

This psalm fit perfectly with my recent rant against people who make fun of other people (scoffers) or people with ginormous egos and small brains who try to convince others of their “wisdom” (ha!)

I will be walking around with this today – I hope to remember to revisit it at meal times and before I sleep.

Tomorrow I should have some insight into it and be on to Psalm 2.
