Psalm 1
Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers, But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה, And he meditates in His Torah day and night. For he shall be as a tree planted by the rivers of water, That yields its fruit in its season, And whose leaf does not wither, And whatever he does prospers. The wrong are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind blows away. Therefore the wrong shall not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For יהוה knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wrong comes to naught.
Dear YHWH,
I shall be blessed to meditate on your Torah day and night, for they nourish my soul like a tree planted by the rivers of water. As I grow during the seasons of my life, I shall not wither but yield Your fruit in every being of my body. In everything I do will prosper because of Your advice and counsel from Your Word. Your Word and Spirit will keep me away from the paths of the wicked. Help me to abide in You during the difficult times of my life. You are the Vine-dresser and Your Word is my True Vine, and I am the branch. Apart from You and Your Word, I cannot bear any fruit and my bones will wither up and dry out without the support of Your Root. It is through my love that I abide in You and obey Your teachings. As I remain in You and You remain in me, we will prosper and bear much fruit together. It pleases me and You that I walk in the faith through Your Word. Your Word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. Your Torah is sweeter than the honeycomb, for I shall taste and see the goodness of You. I will not rely on my own understandings but to acknowledge You in all of my ways, because You will keep my path straight before me that leads to everlasting life with You. Therefore, I will take counsel and advice from You only and walk pleasingly in Your sight. You require that I believe in You that I may be declared righteous before You. Thank You for Your forgiveness of my wicked ways before I knew You, and that You will remember them no more. I thank You, YHWH, for Your righteousness! Thank You for teaching and growing me in Your Word. I look forward to the day that I shall be transformed into Your likeness of Your Word when I see You. For You have created me and formed me according to Your purpose. You destined me to live Your Word that I may be conformed to the image of Your Son. Thank You for calling Me unto You. I am so glad and grateful to have answered Your calling upon my life. Thank You for loving me with the everlasting love. Your Word changed me, and I am blessed that You will find Your Righteousness in me through Your Word and Spirit. I love You, YHWH and my Redeemer.
In YHWSH’s Name, I do pray. Thank You!
