Psalm 1 provides vital truths about wise living, showing us that a blessed life is not about feelings. Alistair Begg helps to draw us into the picture this psalm describes: that of a fruitful tree thriving beside a flowing river. A life that God will bless is marked by separation from the world’s standards, a love of God’s Word, and healthy, fruitful conduct that draws others to God.
1Blessed is the man1
who awalks not in bthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in cthe way of sinners,
nor dsits in ethe seat of fscoffers;
2but his gdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,
and on his hlaw he meditates day and night.
3He is like ia tree
planted by jstreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its kleaf does not wither.
lIn all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like mchaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked nwill not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in othe congregation of the righteous;
6for the Lord pknows qthe way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
