[Typical righteous person]:"The happy man is not any particular individual, but a type" (Apple 2012 :A:), i.e. a typical righteous person.
+ <אַשְׁרֵי>: Blessings in Psalms that begin with אַשְׁרֵי usually apply to people generally, even if a masculine singular noun is used.
+ [אַשְׁרֵי]: E.g., "Blessed is the one (אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר) who takes refuge in him" (Ps 34:9, NIV; cf. Pss 32:1-2; 40:5; 41:2; 84:6, 13; 94:12; 112:1; 127:5).
+ <Participant Tracking>:“Analyzing the content (participant tracking) also shows that the poem is arranged in the pattern a-b-a-b (a: vv.1-3; b: vv.4-5; a: v.6a; b: v.6b)... implicitly identifying the righteous of 6a (and 5b) with the happy man of the poem’s opening statements” (Putnam 2019 :M:).
+ <Genre>: Psalm 1 belongs to the family of wisdom psalms (cf. Gunkel and Begrich 1998 :M:), and Hebrew wisdom psalms usually apply to humans generally (cf. Apple 2012 :A:).
+ <Wisdom>: The distinct traits of the wisdom family of psalms include (1) thematic focus on wisdom (e.g., how to live, contrast between righteous and wicked, reward and retribution, etc.), (2) an intellectual tone, and (3) a pedagogic intention (see Cheung 2022 :A:). Psalm 1 exhibits these traits and is therefore a wisdom psalm.
+ [Wisdom psalms]: E.g., Pss 25; 34; 37; 49; 73; 111; 112; 128 (Grant 2008, 893 :D:).
<_ <Wisdom and kings>: "The wisdom character of Ps 1, far from excluding a royal application, actually enhances it; for if courtiers were given instruction in wisdom, how much more were the king’s sons" (Brownlee 1971 :A:).#dispreferred
+ <Psalm 2>: "Even Ps 2, undoubtedly royal, is given a wisdom conclusion in vv.10-11" (Brownlee 1971 :A:).#dispreferred
+ <2 Samuel 23>:"There are even striking similarities in outline between Psalm 1 and the Last Words of David (2 Samuel 23)... The didactic character of the Last Words of David makes them suitable for the education of the king’s sons; and the moralistic character of Ps 1 fits it for educative use" (Brownlee 1971 :A:).#dispreferred
+ [2 Sam 23:3-6]: "When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God, he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth. “For does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For will he not cause to prosper all my help and my desire? But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away..." (2 Sam 23:3-6, ESV).#dispreferred
