How happy is the man?
Who never does follow;
Ways of the wicked plan,
That are dark and shallow.
The path of all sinners,
And a group of mockers;
Cannot be the winners,
Of the evil talkers.
The Law is his delight,
He meditates all day;
Meditating all night,
By trusting to obey.
He is just like a tree,
Beside a flowing stream;
Bears fruit abundantly,
That is tasting supreme.
Its leaves do not shrivel,
Staying green all year round;
So upright and civil,
As birds make a glad sound.
All that he does succeeds,
Yielding the fruit on time;
But evil does bad deeds,
Always a sinful crime.
They are wind-driven chaff,
Constantly go astray;
For Satan his behalf,
That the wind blows away.
Evil will not survive,
When Judgment Day befalls;
When they will burn alive,
The verdict that God calls.
Nor can the sinners link,
The righteous assembly;
Because of worldly sync,
And no confessing plea.
The Lord watches the way,
Guards the way of righteous;
So, the godly not stray,
Guiding the subconscious.
Evil leads to downfall,
That will end in their death;
The wicked gets the call,
Just before their last breath.
