Psalms 1–41
1Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law he meditates day and night.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 The ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff
which the wind drives away.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the ungodly will perish.

Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
1Blessed is the man#1:1 The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface
who #Prov. 4:14, 15 walks not in #Job 21:16 the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in #Prov. 1:10 the way of sinners,
nor #Ps. 26:4; Jer. 15:17 sits in #[Ps. 107:32] the seat of #Prov. 1:22; 3:34; 19:29; 21:24; 29:8; [Isa. 28:14]scoffers;
2but his #Ps. 112:1; 119:35, 47, 92 delight is in the law#1:2 Or instruction of the Lord,
and on his #Ps. 119:1, 97; Josh. 1:8law he meditates day and night.
3He is like #Jer. 17:8; Ezek. 19:10; [Num. 24:6; Job 29:19] a tree
planted by #Ps. 46:4 streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its #Ezek. 47:12; [Isa. 34:4] leaf does not wither.
#
Gen. 39:3, 23; [Ps. 128:2; Isa. 3:10] In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like #See Job 21:18chaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked #Ps. 5:5; 76:7; Nah. 1:6; Luke 21:36; Eph. 6:13 will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in #[Ezek. 13:9]the congregation of the righteous;
6for the Lord #Ps. 31:7; 37:18; 144:3; Nah. 1:7; [John 10:14; 2 Tim. 2:19] knows #Ps. 37:5the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
