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 the scornful.

Psalms 1 Study & Commentary
Psalm 1 contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the ungodly. The righteous man meditates on the law of the Lord and is like a tree planted by rivers of water, while the ungodly are like chaff driven by the wind.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Power of Meditation: Prosperity is tied to constant meditation on God’s Word (v. 2). What we "input" into our minds determines our "output" in life.2. Separation from the World: There is a progression in sin: walking, standing, and sitting with the ungodly. We must be intentional about our associations.
3. Eternal Stability: The righteous are "planted," while the wicked are "driven away." Faith provides a root system that survives the storms of life.
