Psalm 1:1-2

The Righteous and the Ungodly

1¹ How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked , Nor stand in the [1] path of sinners , Nor sit in the seat of scoffers ! ² But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night .

Commentary on Psalm 1:1-3

(Read Psalm 1:1-3)

To meditate in God's word, is to discourse with ourselves concerning the great things contained in it, with close application of mind and fixedness of thought. We must have constant regard to the word of God, as the rule of our actions, and the spring of our comforts; and have it in our thoughts night and day. For this purpose no time is amiss.
