Poetry

---

Bless be the one who walks not in sin,
And does not walk with those that do;
The one who has a spiritual discipline,
The one that is having a Heavenly view.

His delight is in the law of the Lord,
Thinking about it both day and night;
He devotes his free time to the Word,
Loving the Lord with all of his might.

Just as a tree planted by the water flow,
Very fruitful and leaves forever green;
Sturdy branches that spiritually grow,
With a fruit that is righteously clean.

Evil-doers are as trees planted in sand,
That winds of judgment erode away;
Blown enough the tree can not stand,
As it is uprooted and starts to decay.

The Lord nourishes the righteous roots,
To flourish and bloom in its splendor;
While a sinful tree produces rotten fruits,
As it whither and dies in its endeavor.
