VERSE 1:
Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
Or stand in the way of sinners
Or sit in the seat of scoffers
Blessed the one who finds delight in the holy words of scripture
Who feeds on statutes humbly
Meditating on it day and night
CHORUS1:
They will be like a tree
Planted by a stream that flows
So its roots grow deep
In the soil that rich with life
Fresh and green they’ll remain
Fruitful as the day is long in the harvest of God’s field
VERSE 2:
Not so for the wicked who like chaff in the wind are blown and scattered
Though now it appears they prosper
They’ll fade at the coming judgment
God is watching over those who walk in his way and seek to trust him
He showers their path with blessing
Showing kindness to the ones he loves
CHORUS 2:
May I be like a tree
Planted by a stream that flows
So its roots grow deep
In the soil that rich with life
Fresh and green I’ll remain
Fruitful as the day is long in the harvest of God’s field
