Psalms 1
1
Torah Is a Tree of Wisdom
1Happy is the one who has not walked in the advice of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of scoffers.
2But his delight is in the Torah of Adonai, and on His Torah he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a planted tree over streams of water, producing its fruit during its season. Its leaf never droops— but in all he does, he succeeds.
4The wicked are not so. For they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand during the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For Adonai knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

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.
