CHRISTMAS EVE WITH A PSALM
On this Christmas Eve
(24th December 2019), let us sing a Psalm (sacred song) from the
Holy Bible. The psalm selected in this write up is at No.01 in The Book of Psalms. In all the book
comprises 150 Psalms.
According to Christian
history, It was David. described in the Hebrew Bible as the third king of the United
Monarch of Israel and Judah who authored the Psalms included in the Bible. He
was a young shepherd who gained fame as a musician.
Even
a casual study of these Psalms shows
that they are full of eternal wisdom. They
praise God, describe His attributes, and also counsel human beings how to live a
righteous life to avoid the wrath of God.
Given below is the text of the 1st PSALM .
1.“Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of the sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2.But his delight is in the law of
the LORD, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3. And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doth shall prosper.
4. The ungodly are not so: but are
like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5.Therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6. For the LORD knoweth the way of
the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. “
