Psalm 1/Overview/Structure

v. 1 Happy is the one who has not walked in the counsel of wicked people, has not taken a stand in the way of sinful people, and has not settled in the dwelling place of insolent people!	Happy is the one	...who has not taken a stand in the way of sinful people, but follows the way of YHWH's instruction. He will flourish like a tree!		admiration
v. 2 Instead, his delight is in YHWH's instruction, and he meditates on his instruction day and night.
v. 3 And he will become like a tree transplanted beside water channels that gives its fruit in its season and whose leaves do not wither. And he will cause all that he does to flourish.
v. 4 Not so the wicked people! Instead, they will be like chaff that the wind drives away.	Not so the wicked	When judgment comes, they will be blown away like chaff and will not stand with the righteous.		contempt
v. 5 Therefore, wicked people will not stand firm in the judgment, and sinful people [will not stand] in the group of righteous people.
v. 6 Because YHWH cares for the way of righteous people, and the way of wicked people will come to an end.	Because YHWH	...cares for the way of the righteous, and the way of wicked people will come to an end.		confidence
