Psalm 1 opens the Book of Psalms with a profound exploration of the dichotomy between the righteous and the wicked. The psalmist begins by declaring the blessedness of those who do not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers. Instead, their delight is in the law of the Lord, and they meditate on it day and night. This imagery paints a picture of a fruitful tree, firmly planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season. In contrast, the wicked are likened to chaff that the wind drives away, emphasizing their instability and ultimate fate. The chapter concludes with a powerful reminder that the Lord knows the way of the righteous, while the way of the wicked will perish. This psalm serves as an invitation to reflect on our own paths and the eternal consequences of our choices.
