Psalm
1: God makes sense of a messed up world
Amos Wilson (March 2,
2014)
“Wail for the world is
wrong!”
With rapine, scorn, and
disbelief.
Evil's all too strong.
Is there help? Or some
relief?
Behold that growing tree!
(That's figurative, I hope
you know,)
From evil he will flee,
And to the Law habitually
goes.
His works do prosper well,
For God is pleased with
him to bless,
And all God's ways he
tells,
To man. God's name he will
confess.
Supremely blessed with
joy,
Is this holy, righteous
man,
Be he girl or boy,
When he accepts God's will
and plan.
But not the wicked one,
Who like the chaff will
blow and burn,
The scoffers, mockers fun
To spurn, our God himself
will spurn.
In judgment he will
whither,
Wile the righteous stand
and praise.
They flee hither,
thither,
While he
will see God's face of grace.
The
righteous bear much fruit,
For
God knows him and loves to cherish.
The
evil – black as soot,
God
shall seize and make to perish.
