Psalm 1 tells about a blessed man. He does not walk in the counsel of the wicked. He does not sit with people who mock. He delights in Yahweh's law. He thinks about it day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water. It gives its fruit in its season. Its leaf does not dry up. The wicked are not like that. They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Yahweh knows the way of the righteous.

Memory Verse

“He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.”

Two Ways to Live

Name Date

Read the Story

Psalm 1 is the first song in the book of Psalms. It shows two ways to live. The blessed man does not walk in the counsel of the wicked. He does not stand on the path of sinners or sit in the seat of scoffers.

Instead, his delight is in Yahweh's law. He meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted by the streams of water. It produces its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.

The wicked are not so. They are like chaff, the dry husks that the wind drives away. They will not stand in the judgment. Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

“For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.”

The Blessed Way

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 1 opens the whole book of Psalms with a picture of two paths. It has no title. The blessed man does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, stand on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of scoffers. Notice the steps: walking, then standing, then sitting.

Instead, his delight is in Yahweh's law, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted by the streams of water, which produces its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

The wicked are not so. They are like chaff, the light husks that blow away when grain is cleaned. They will not stand in the judgment or in the congregation of the righteous. The psalm ends by saying that Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Rooted in God's Word

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 1 serves as a doorway into the Psalms. It has no title, and it begins with a blessing on the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked. The psalm traces a slide from walking with the wicked, to standing with sinners, to sitting among scoffers.

His delight is in Yahweh's law, and he meditates on it day and night. To meditate is to think deeply about God's words. The psalm compares him to a tree planted by the streams of water, which produces its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. The tree does not make its own water; it is planted where water flows.

The wicked are like chaff which the wind drives away, and they will not stand in the judgment. The psalm closes with two endings: Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish. In the New Testament, Jesus calls himself the vine and says that the branch that remains in him bears much fruit (John 15:5).
