Psalms 1
1
1Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight [is] in the law of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalms 1

Psalm 1
The two paths #1:1 This psalm tells us about two groups of people: (1) people who want to please God; (2) people who do not respect God at all. These two groups of people walk along different paths. Each path leads to a different result. Verse 6 tells us what happens to people in each of these groups.
1If someone does not do what wicked people tell him to do,
if he does not join with sinners,
if he does not meet with those who laugh at God,
God has blessed that person!
2He is happy when he obeys the Law of the Lord. #1:2 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
He thinks about God's Law during the day and at night.
3He will become like a tree that grows beside streams of water.
It gives its fruit at the right season.
Its leaves do not fall off.
Everything that person does will have a good result.
4But wicked people are as empty as chaff.
The wind blows them away. #1:4 Wicked people do not obey God's rules. God will blow them away like chaff one day.
5So they will not go free when God judges them.
Sinners cannot join with God's people,
the people who are right with God. #1:5 God judges all people. He will decide if they are guilty.
6The Lord takes care of people who respect him.
But wicked people are living in a way that will take them to a bad end.
