His Delight is in the Law of the Lord – 喜愛耶和華必為有福

This anthem for SATB choir with solo tenor and soprano is based on Psalm 1, verses 1-3. Sung in Chinese, its text celebrates the blessedness of one who delights in God's law. The composer, Louis K. Liu, sets the verses imaginatively, contrasting the transient paths of the wicked with the enduring strength of the righteous. The music paints a vivid picture of the believer as a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season and enjoying lasting prosperity. This uplifting piece would serve well in a devotional setting or as a reflection on the rewards of faithfulness.
