Psalms 1

The Blessed and the Wicked

Psalm 1 sets the tone for the rest of the book of Psalms by drawing a contrast between two paths: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. The psalm begins by describing the blessedness of those who meditate on God's law day and night, likening them to trees planted by streams of water that yield fruit in due season. In contrast, the wicked are portrayed as chaff blown away by the wind, lacking a firm foundation and destined for destruction.

Version

¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

²But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalms 1:3 - And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

³And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
