Psalm 1

Psalm 1 contrasts the way of the righteous with the way of the wicked. The righteous are described as someone who delights in God's teachings, meditates on them daily, and leads a stable, fruitful life rooted in God’s guidance. In contrast, the wicked are like chaff blown away by the wind, indicating a fragile, unstable existence without lasting purpose. The psalm emphasizes that true happiness and stability come from following and valuing God's wisdom, while ignoring or rejecting it leads to instability and eventual downfall. It underscores the importance of aligning one's life with divine principles for enduring well-being.
