Psalm 1: When sweet, delicious wrath sounds better than the alternative

Give us each day... Our Moldy Bread
Psalm One
When sweet, delicious wrath sounds better than the alternative
-

  1. -  -  - Blessed is the one
    -  -  -  - who does not walk in step with the wicked
    -  -  -  -  or who refuses to dance the macarena
    -  -  - or does not stand in the way that sinners take
    -  -  -  -  nor hands the microphone over to Kanye West
    -  -  -  -  or sit in the company of mockers,
    -  -  --   or mock a company of sitters,
  2. -  -  - but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    -  -  --   because who doesn't delight in self righteousness?
    -  -  -  - And who meditates on his law day and night,
    -  -  --   as though it were worthy of more than five minutes attention, tops.
  3. -  -  - That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    -  -  -  - which yields its fruit in season
    -  -  --   (or more likely a log who lays there, rotting,
    -  -  --   but in the most annoying way humanly possible)

    -  -  - and whose leaf does not wither—
    -  -  -  - whatever they do prospers.
    -  -  --   Although all of their friends make like a tree...
    -  -  --   ...and leaf... and put out restraining orders.

    -
  4. -  -  - Not so the wicked!  They have a life!
    -  -  -  - They are like chaff
    -  -  -  - that the wind blows away.
    -  -  --   Way... waaay... waaaaay away, to where people have a pulse.
  5. -  -  - Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    -  -  -  - nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
    -  -  --   Wait, we're not going to be judged,
    -  -  -  nor have to endure the assembly of the annoying?
    -  -  --   SCORE!!! 
    -
  6. -  -  - For the Lord watches over the way of the  self-righteous,
    -  -  -  - but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
    -  -  -  Destroy me, baby... all night long!
NOTES:
I know I've been going through Genesis, but I felt like doing a little something different. I most certainly won't want to go through all 150 psalms in a damned row. That'd be hell. So every now and then I'll do one. I'll also break in with some Proverbs on occasion, and sometimes I'll jump to the New Testament just to shake things up. Hey, it's a big book, and it'll take me forever to get through it. Might as well kill boredom.
