Psalm 1/Notes/Phrasal.v. 2.425547
From Psalms: Layer by Layer
Some commentators think that the antecedent of the pronoun in the phrase his instruction (v. 2b) is "the one" rather than YHWH. Rashi, for example, writes, "At first it is called 'YHWH's instruction,' but after he has labored over it it is called his instruction."[1] But the parallel between בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָה in v. 2a and בְתוֹרָתוֹ in v. 2b suggests that YHWH is the antecedent of the pronoun in the b-line.
