Psalm One

In my personal bible study, I read Psalm 1 out of the Message and thought.. what would I write if I were writing a Psalm in current vernacular.? Here is my shot…

God approves of the man who
Does not hang out with sinners
Or seeks them in the night or,
Wants to sit all day with those up to no good.

The man who seeks the heart of God
And thinks about His goodness all the time….
wins God’s attention.

He is like a tree planted on the bank near the water…
That yields fruit when it is time and
Never loses its leaves.
God will bless all he does.

But not the wicked.
They go whatever way the crowd goes.
So the wicked will definitely not be in control
Nor will they even get to sit at the table with the righteous.

Because the Lord watches over those who seek Him
And those who don’t will die.
