Psalm 1 is the cornerstone to the book of Psalms.
It contrasts the blessed man or the righteous with the ungodly.
The musical setting that you will hear seeks to contrast these themes in the music by means of melodic and harmonic means.
The music may sound Middle Eastern to you, and you would be right.
The scale used is commonly found in the Middle East.
It's often referred to as the Spanish scale or the Hebrew scale.
And if this causes you to raise an eyebrow as to why are we singing it,
don't forget that the blessed man, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, was a Middle Eastern Jew.
So Psalm 1.
Blessed is the man that walketh not [Am] in the counsel [E] of the ungodly,
nor standeth in [Am] the way [E] of sinners, [Am] nor sitteth in the seat of the [E] scornful,
[F] but his delight is in the law [E] of the Lord, and [F] in his law doth he meditate [E] day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth [Am] forth his fruit [E] in his season.
His leaf [Am] also shall not wither, and whatsoever he [E] doeth shall prosper.
[D] The ungodly are not so, but are [E] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
[D] Therefore the [E]
ungodly [Dm] shall not stand in [E] the judgment,
nor sinners in the [D] congregation of the [E] righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous,
[D] but the way of [E] the ungodly shall [F] [E] perish.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in [Am] the counsel [E] of the ungodly,
nor standeth [Am] in the way [E] of sinners, nor sitteth [Am] in the [E] seat of the scornful,
[F] [E] [F]
but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
[Am] [E] that bringeth forth his fruit in his season.
His leaf [Am] also shall [E] not wither,
[Am] and [E] whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly [Bm] are not so, but [E] are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly [D] shall not stand [E] in the judgment,
[D] nor sinners in the congregation of the [E] righteous.
[D] [E] For the Lord knoweth the way of the ungodly shall perish.
