Psalm 1 (a wisdom psalm) Jer. 17:5–8

Blessed (he is right with God and enjoys the spiritual peace and joy that results from that relationship) is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the LORD knows (watches) the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Blessed is he who does not walk in the state of mind which the ungodly cherish, much less that he should associate with the vicious life of sinners, or even delight in the company of those who scoff at religion. The description now continues with כִּי אִם (imo si, Ges. § 155, 2, 9): but (if) his delight is, = (substantival instead of the verbal clause:) he delights (חֵפֶץ cf. Arab. chfḍ f. i. with the primary notion of firmly adhering, vid., on Job 40:17) in תורַת ה׳ , the teaching of Jahve, which is become Israel’s νόμος, rule of life; in this he meditates profoundly by day and night

The green foliage is an emblem of faith, which converts the water of life of the divine word into sap and strength, and the fruit, an emblem of works, which gradually ripen and scatter their blessings around; a tree that has lost its leaves, does not bring its fruit to maturity.

will be condemned by God when they are judged. --- will not stand in judgement... Not will not go to judgement.

The Lord guides and protects the righteous.

The chief thing in life is the counsel—plan, ruling principles, and maxims—by which it is guided. E.g. one man’s aim in life is “to die rich;” another’s motto, “Short life and merry;” another’s, “To me to live is Christ.”

Still, they knew that God heard and answered, not according to their thoughts, but according to his loving-kindness; hence they poured out their whole souls to God, whether in gladness or sadness. And so may we; and God will do exceeding abundantly for us above all that we ask or think.
