Psalm 1
Introduction to Psalms
This psalm [Psalm 1] was put first as a preface to all the rest, as a powerful
persuasive to the serious study of the whole book, and of the rest
of the holy scripture, taken from that blessedness which attends
upon the study and practice of it. It shews us, the holiness and
happiness of a good man, ver. 1-3 The sinfulness and misery of a
wicked man, ver. 4, 5. The ground and reason of both, ver. 6.
Verse
1. Blessed - The Hebrew words are very emphatical: O the
blessedness of that man! Counsel - That doth not lead his life
according to their counsel, or manner of living. Standeth - Which
notes a more settled abode in it. Way - In their manner of
conversation. Seat - Which notes a constant and resolved
perseverance in their wicked courses. Scornful - Of those who
make a mock of sin, and scoff at goodness and goodmen. Divers
observe a gradation in this verse; the following clause still
exceeding the former, for standing is more than walking, and
sitting more than standing; and sinners in scripture use, are worse
than the ungodly, and the scornful are the worst of sinners.
Verse
2. Day and night - Not seldom and slightly, but diligently, and
constantly.
Verse
3. Whither - His happiness is not short and transitory, but, like
those trees which are continually green and flourishing.
Verse
4. Ungodly - Their condition is far different. Chaff - They are
restless and unquiet: their seeming felicity, hath no firm
foundation, but quickly vanishes and flees away as chaff before
the wind.
Verse
5. Not stand - Not endure the trial. Judgment - In the great and
general judgment of the world.
Verse
6. Knoweth - He approves, loves, and delights in them, and
therefore will recompence them. Perish - All their designs and
courses shall come to nothing, and they shall perish with them.
