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

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall 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.
