The Blessings of Righteousness and Consequences of Wickedness
The first Psalm distinguishes between the blessings of righteousness and the consequences of wickedness. It emphasizes the importance of avoiding the counsel of the wicked and delighting in the law of the Lord. The righteous are compared to a tree planted by streams of water, prospering in all they do, while the wicked are likened to chaff blown away by the wind. The text highlights that the wicked will not stand in judgment or be among the righteous, whereas the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, ensuring their prosperity.
