Psalms 1:4-6

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

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

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

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