WELL-CHOSEN

Our mother was a widow 39 years, lacking a very few days. When our dad passed suddenly all those years before, she had no hesitation in exactly what was to be on his tombstone: Psalm 1.

Each time I hear it spoken or see it written, I am reminded of how fitting of Daddy and how wise of Mamma 's choice.

Psalm 1New American Standard Bible (NASB)

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1 

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And in His law he meditates day and night.

3 

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season

And its leaf does not wither;

And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4 

The wicked are not so,

But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5 

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.
