The first part of the Psalm contains information (v. 2) for the blessed that is not included for the wicked in the second part of the Psalm. So the structure of the poem itself seems to suggest that the wicked are characterized by a lack of what the blessed have (a relationship with God through the Torah). The structure thus reinforces the main message of the poem: Blessing proceeds from a relationship with God.
This affects these propositions:
None specified.
