Psalms 1
1
1Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull: 2But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night. 3For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper. 4The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous. 6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 1

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.
