Psalms 1 Blessed is the man who delights in Gods word

God doesn’t judge people on the basis of race, sex, or national origin. He judges them on the basis of their faith in him and their response to his revealed will. Those who diligently try to obey God’s will are blessed. They are like healthy, fruit-bearing trees planted along a riverbank with strong roots (Jeremiah 17:7, 8), and God promises to watch over them. God’s wisdom guides their lives. In contrast, those who don’t trust and obey God have meaningless lives that blow away like dust.

1  Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

4  Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6  For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
