This is part 1 in our series on “daily walk with the LORD.” The Psalmist presents two ways to live where one is clearly the right/wise choice and the other the damnable one. The right way to live involves three refusals to listening to, living like and laughing with the world. This right way also involves a delight in the LORD’s commands (the Law of the LORD) and making them our meditation all the time. Knowing and living out the will of the Almighty God is the supreme treasure in this life.

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
