11 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
11 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
11 Blessed is the man
11 How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
11 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
11 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
321 Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
321 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
321 Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be - you get a fresh start, your slate's wiped clean.
321 A Psalm of David. A Contemplation. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
321 Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight!
(Read Psalm 32:1-2)
Sin is the cause of our misery; but the true believer's transgressions of the Divine law are all forgiven, being covered with the atonement. Christ bare his sins, therefore they are not imputed to him. The righteousness of Christ being reckoned to us, and we being made the righteousness of God in him, our iniquity is not imputed, God having laid upon him the iniquity of us all, and made him a sin-offering for us. Not to impute sin, is God's act, for he is the Judge. It is God that justifies. Notice the character of him whose sins are pardoned; he is sincere, and seeks sanctification by the power of the Holy Ghost. He does not profess to repent, with an intention to indulge in sin, because the Lord is ready to forgive. He will not abuse the doctrine of free grace. And to the man whose iniquity is forgiven, all manner of blessings are promised.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 1:1
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.
