Tehillim 1

TEHILLIM
1Blessed is the ish that walketh not in the Etzah (counsel, scheme) of the Resha'im, nor standeth in the Derech Chatta'im, nor sitteth in the Moshav (seat) of the Leitzim (scornful, ones mocking and reviling).
2But his delight is in the Torat Hashem; and in His torah doth he meditate yomam v'lailah.
3And he shall be like an etz planted by the streams of mayim, that bringeth forth its p'ri in its season; the leaf thereof also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The Resha'im are not so, but are like the chaff which the ruach driveth away.
5Therefore the Resha'im shall not stand in the Mishpat, nor Chatta'im (sinners) in the Adat Tzaddikim.
6For Hashem knoweth the Derech Tzaddikim, but the Derech Resha'im shall perish.#1:6 The next Psalm says that the whole world, all the earth, is, or will be, the possession of Moshiach, and that Hashem assures Moshiach of this; therefore, the Great Commission (Mt 28:19-20) was given to preach Moshiach to the ends of the earth that the whole world may hear.

Psalms 1
1
BOOK ONE
PSALM 1
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1 # This has been called “The Preface Psalm” because in some respects it introduces the complete book of Psalms as a godly message. It opens with a benediction, “Blessed,” as does the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5:3). Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example],
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of #I.e. shallow thinkers who are quick to mock or disdain.scoffers (ridiculers).
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.
3And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season;
Its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].
4The wicked [those who live in disobedience to God’s law] are not so,
But they are like the chaff [worthless and without substance] which the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand [unpunished] in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.
