Psalms 1:1-3

The Two Ways: Rooted in the LORD or Ruined Apart from Him

Separation from wickedness -> delight in Torah -> rooted fruitfulness -> wicked instability -> final divine distinction

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1Blessed 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.

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

3He 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.
