Psalm 1/Notes/Phrasal.V. 4.333771
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
The phrase "the wicked" (הָרְשָׁעִים) in v. 4, like the phrase "the one" in v. 1, has the definite article. In v. 4, the article is probably anaphoric, referring to "the wicked" as those who were introduced in v. 1: "the wicked people whom I mentioned earlier."
