Blessed is the one,
Who does not follow;
Any wicked son,
With no tomorrow.
For he takes the path,
That is for sinners;
And will feel the wrath,
Who tells the spinners.
The Law of the Lord,
Whoever delights;
Is reading His Word,
And given insights.
He mulls on the laws,
Both through day and night;
But he has no flaws,
That would dim his light.
He is like a tree,
Planted by the streams;
Freshest fruit to be,
Tasty as it seems.
Its leaves do not wither,
Succeeds what he does;
Never to dither,
On rumors that buzz.
Wicked ones are blind,
Their leaves blow away;
For control of mind,
Satan lets them stray.
In judgment they stand,
As their way will end,
Since Christ will command,
The fire to send.
