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.

The Ways of the Righteous and the Wicked
1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked;
nor does he stand in the way of sinners;
nor does he sit in the assembly of mockers.
2Instead, in the law of Yahweh is his delight,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3And so, he is like a tree planted by streams of water
that gives its fruit in its season;
its leaf also does not wither.
Therefore all that he does prospers.
4Not so the wicked.
Instead, they are like the chaff that the wind scatters.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6for Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,#Plural
but the way of the wicked will perish.
