Psalm 1: Planted by the Water Blues

** Step into the rich, soulful depths of Psalm 1 with "Planted by the Water Blues," a song inspired by the powerful imagery and wisdom of the Scriptures. David, the psalmist, likely wrote this foundational psalm as a gateway to the Book of Psalms, introducing a timeless contrast between the righteous and the wicked. It serves as both instruction and meditation, calling us to delight in God’s Word and to anchor ourselves in His eternal truth, much like a tree planted by streams of living water.

In this blues rendition, we explore the themes of steadfastness, fruitfulness, and trust in the Lord, blending Scripture’s depth with a heartfelt melody. Join us as we reflect on the righteous path, guided by Yahweh’s wisdom, and celebrate the promise of a life rooted in His Word.

Original Text from Psalm 1 (World English Bible):

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.
On his law, he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.

** Song Lyrics: Psalm 1 "Planted by the Water Blues"

(Verse 1)
Blessed is the man, who won’t walk that wicked road,
He won’t stand with the sinners, won’t sit where scoffers hold.
His delight is in the Lord’s Word, day and night he’ll meditate,
Like a tree by living waters, he’s standing tall and straight.

(Chorus)
Oh, planted by the water, roots go deep and strong,
Bearing fruit in season, in the storm he’ll carry on.
Leaves don’t wither, he’s walking in God’s ways,
Planted by the water, through the heat and endless days.

(Verse 2)
The wicked blow like chaff, the wind will drive ‘em away,
They can’t stand in judgment, not on that final day.
Yahweh knows the righteous, He keeps their path in sight,
But the way of the wicked fades in the dark of night.

(Chorus)
Oh, planted by the water, roots go deep and strong,
Bearing fruit in season, in the storm he’ll carry on.
Leaves don’t wither, he’s walking in God’s ways,
Planted by the water, through the heat and endless days.

(Bridge – Jeremiah 17:7-8)
“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh’s mighty hand,
He’s like a tree by the river, in the dry he’ll firmly stand.
No fear when heat is coming, leaves stay fresh and green,
In the year of drought, he’s steady, untouched by what’s unseen.”

(Verse 3)
Don’t follow the wicked counsel, don’t stray down a sinner’s path,
The road to life is narrow; the rest will feel God’s wrath.
Stay rooted in His promise, in His law find your delight,
And you’ll shine like the morning, in Yahweh’s holy light.

(Chorus)
Oh, planted by the water, roots go deep and strong,
Bearing fruit in season, in the storm he’ll carry on.
Leaves don’t wither, he’s walking in God’s ways,
Planted by the water, through the heat and endless days.

(Outro – Psalm 92:12-13)
“The righteous will flourish like a palm tree in the sand,
They’ll grow like a cedar in the courts of God’s land.
Still bearing fruit in old age, forever they’ll stand tall,
Planted by the water, in the shadow of it all.”

(Fade out with slow blues riff)
Planted by the water… roots go deep and strong…
In Yahweh’s grace forever… oh, that’s where I belong.
