Psalm 1 tells us that the righteous will prosper, and the wicked will perish. So why do wicked people often appear to be prospering? Alistair Begg explains that while evildoers succeed in this life, they are unprepared to face their death. God has fixed a day of judgment for the unrighteousness of man, and only through faith in the righteousness of Christ will we receive God’s mercy on that day.
1Blessed is the man1
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in the law2 of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
