Psalm 1:1-3
The Message
Psalm 1:1-3
The Message
1 How well God must like you—
you don’t walk in the ruts of those blind-as-bats,
you don’t stand with the good-for-nothings,
you don’t take your seat among the know-it-alls.
2-3 Instead you thrill to God’s Word,
you chew on Scripture day and night.
You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.
Psalm 1:4-5
The Message
Psalm 1:4-5
The Message
4-5 You’re not at all like the wicked,
who are mere windblown dust—
Without defense in court,
unfit company for innocent people.
Psalm 1:6
The Message
Psalm 1:6
The Message
6 God charts the road you take.
The road they take leads to nowhere.
The Message (MSG)
