Our God and King, who called your servant George Herbert
from the pursuit of worldly honors to be a pastor of souls, a poet, and a
priest in your temple: Give us grace, we pray, joyfully to perform the tasks
you give us to do, knowing that nothing is menial or common that is done for
your sake; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the
wicked
or stand in the way
that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates
on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does
not wither— whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the
assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the
wicked leads to destruction.
Psalm 1 – New International Version
