Lord, you have blessed the one who does not seek counsel of
wicked men. You bless him who does not live the life of a bully and brat. You
bless those who delight in your infallible Word – those who think about your
laws and promises day and night – unceasing, unfailing. My I turn away from
wickedness and become a man that you bless. May I find my daily joy in and
delight in the sweet words of your tongue. For the man you bless is rooted
firmly near your streams of living water. He produces fruit of your Spirit. His
leaf does not whither, for he is eternally nourished by the sweet truths of
your Word. Everything he does prospers because he always does your will – and
your will always comes to pass. Lord, you are pleased by the way of the
righteous, but you let the plans of the wicked fail. The wicked will not be
able to stand in the face of your judgment, nor will they understand the
gatherings of the righteous, for we gather to worship you, and the only god
they know is themselves.
