Psalm 1 (KJV)
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
"Blessed is the One"
[Refrain (A major)]
Blessed is the one.
Blessed is the one.
Blessed is the one.

Nor standeth
in the way
of sinners.

Blessed is the one
Blessed is the one!
[Synth & Guitar Hook]
Who shall be
like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth good fruit
in its season.
[Synth & Guitar Hook]
Whose leaf also
shall not wither;
and whatsoever is done
shall prosper.

Blessed are the ones.
Blessed are the ones.
Blessed are the ones!

The ungodly are not so.
But are like the chaff
Which the wind drive-eth,
Away.

Notes
This is the opening psalm, establishing the foundational contrast between the righteous and the ungodly. The key change to F# minor for the "ungodly" verses creates sonic tension that mirrors the theological judgment being pronounced.
The repetition of "Blessed is the one" as a refrain transforms the psalm's opening into a rallying cry, while maintaining the original's emphasis on meditation and delight in divine law.
