It's the start of a new Church Year — why not incorporate a new habit into your personal or family devotional routine? At the 2024 Institute on Liturgy, Preaching and Church Music, attendees sang and prayed all 150 psalms together over the course of four days. The institute also produced a series of single-sheet overviews for every psalm, perfect for inclusion in your church's bulletin or printing off at home. Each Tuesday, we'll be sharing a shortened version of that sheet, along with the full text of the psalm, for you to study, pray and share with friends and loved ones.
PSALM 1
Blessèd is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
