Poetry

---

Blessed is the man who walks not,
In the counsel of the evil;
For the ungodly they have sought,
The path that leads to the devil.

Nor stands in the way of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
Avoiding the discipliners,
For tempting what Satan offers.

But his delight is in the Law,
Law of the Lord he meditates;
The Lord has been pruning the flaw,
Gives new life that resuscitates.

Like a tree planted by streams,
That yield its fruit in its season;
Before the leaves withered sunbeams,
Unto the snow as the reason.

The ungodly wicked not so,
Like the chaff driven by the wind;
For it is nothing that they know,
About how to be disciplined.

Therefore the wicked will not stand,
As well as the ungodly mind;
That the Lord should be in command,
But they will never be aligned.

Sinners in the congregation,
Congregation of the righteous;
Conforming to regulation,
And for making them more conscious.

For the Lord is knowing the way,
With the path towards the righteousness;
Which mainly to trust and obey,
And following with graciousness.

What the ungodly does cherish,
The path that follows the devil;
But the wicked way will perish,
For the Lord wins over evil.
