Psalm 1 – The Message Version

            Psalm 1 – The Message Version

  • How well God must like you—

    you don’t walk in the ruts of those blind-as-bats,

        you don’t stand with the good-for-nothings,

        you don’t take your seat among the know-it-alls.

2-3 Instead you thrill to God’s Word,
you chew on Scripture day and night.
You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.

4-5 You’re not at all like the wicked,
who are mere windblown dust—
Without defense in court,
unfit company for innocent people.

6 God charts the road you take.
The road they take leads to nowhere.
