Psalm 1 - Night and Day

Lyrics and music by Jody Killingsworth

O happy man that does not walk
In paths that wicked men devise
He darkens not the sinner’s lair
Nor occupies the scoffer’s chair
For His delight is in God’s Law
And to it he lifts up his eyes
He meditates upon it night and day

Night and day, both night and day
He meditates upon it night and day
Night and day, both night and day
God’s Law gets his attention night and day

He’s like a tree that’s planted deep
Beside the river waters wide
That bears in season its good fruit
And keeps its leaves by some good root
That fertile root’s the Law of God
And on it does his soul survive
He drinks the life it feeds him night and day

Night and day, both night and day
He drinks the life it feeds him night and day
Night and day, both night and day
God’s Law will bless and keep him night and day

The wicked are not so, but they
Are like the chaff the wind drives out
They will not stand before the throne
When all God’s saints are gathered home
For He knows every one of them
But all the godless He’ll destroy
I rest my soul upon it night and day

Night and day, both night and day
I rest my soul upon it night and day
Night and day, both night and day
I meditate upon it night and day

Night and day, both night and day
God’s Law gets my attention night and day
Night and day, both night and day
I meditate upon it night and day
