Psalm 1

Psalm 1 tells of the blessings that follow those walk in obedience to God’s Word and the consequences for those who choose to disobey or reject His Word.

Psalms 1:1 – 6 (NKJV) ¹Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; ²But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. ³He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither;  And whatever he does shall prosper.

⁴The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. ⁵Therefore the ungodly shall 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 ungodly shall perish.
