Psalms Chapter 1 (BSB)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path 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, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

4 Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

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

6 For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main contrast in Psalms 1?
The psalm contrasts the blessed man, who delights in God's law and is like a tree planted by rivers of water bearing fruit in season (v.1-3), with the ungodly, who are like chaff the wind blows away (v.4).
What does Psalms 1:1 mean by not walking in the counsel of the ungodly?
It opens by blessing the person who avoids the advice of the wicked, the path of sinners, and the company of scoffers (v.1) — read it at Psalms 1:1.
What happens to the ungodly according to Psalms 1?
The psalm says they will not stand in the judgment nor be counted among the righteous, since the LORD knows the way of the righteous while the way of the ungodly perishes (v.5-6), a fate contrasted similarly in Psalms 26:4-5.
