      <title>Meditations on Psalm 1</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the law of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;LORD&lt;/span&gt;, and on His law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked!  They are like chaff that the wind blows away.  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.  For the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;LORD&lt;/span&gt; watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.&amp;#8221;&lt;br/&gt;
- &lt;i&gt;Psalm 1 (NIV)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Your Word is what I live for,&lt;br/&gt;
Your law is my delight,&lt;br/&gt;
I want Your word to change me,&lt;br/&gt;
So I reflect on it day and night.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I want to be fruitful, oh Lord&lt;br/&gt;
To be a tree planted by water&lt;br/&gt;
To be prosperous and holy&lt;br/&gt;
And never shall I wither&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;And I will not follow evil men&amp;#8217;s advice&lt;br/&gt;
Condone wicked actions,&lt;br/&gt;
Or laugh at someone&amp;#8217;s plight&lt;br/&gt;
For my heart&amp;#8217;s desire is to pursue You alone&lt;br/&gt;
And be blessed because You watch over me.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Those who choose the path of darkness&lt;br/&gt;
Won&amp;#8217;t stand in the judgment&lt;br/&gt;
Their lives get blown away&lt;br/&gt;
As they are cast away from the light&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Their ways won&amp;#8217;t last forever&lt;br/&gt;
The pleasures of sin fade quickly&lt;br/&gt;
So I choose to follow You, my God&lt;br/&gt;
And go where You will lead me.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
