Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 1:4

The ungodly are not so - literally, “Not thus the wicked.” For the word ungodly, see the notes at Psalms 1:1. The statement that the “wicked are not so,” is a general statement applicable alike to their character and destiny, though the mind of the author of the psalm is fixed immediately and particularly on the difference in their destiny, without specifying anything particularly respecting their character. It is as true, however, that the ungodly do walk in the counsel of the wicked, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 1:5

Therefore - Because they are thus worthless.The ungodly - See the notes at Psalms 1:1. The wicked in general; the wicked of any kind or degree.Shall not stand - Compare the notes at Psalms 1:1. The idea is, that they will not be found among those who are acquitted by the Judge, and approved by him. The idea seems to be derived from the act of standing up to be tried, or to receive a sentence.In the judgment - The Aramaic Paraphrase renders this, “in the great day” - understanding it of the day... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 1:6

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous - This is given as a reason why the wicked would not stand in the judgment with the righteous. The reason is, that the Lord, the great Judge, fully understands the character of those who are his friends, and can discriminate between them and all others, whatever pretences others may make to that character. Only those whom God approves, and loves, as his friends, will be able to stand in the day when the great decision shall be made. No one can... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:1

Psalms 1:1. Blessed is the man The Hebrew words are very emphatical: Blessedness belongs to that man; or, O the blessedness of that man! Blessedness here means happiness. And the character of the truly happy man is described in this Psalm both negatively, in his abstaining from sin; and positively, in his practice of a most important duty, introductory to all other duties. It is then illustrated by a beautiful similitude, borrowed from vegetation; and, lastly, contrasted with the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:2

Psalms 1:2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord In the study and practice of it, as appears from the context. Having described the character of the truly blessed man negatively, in the preceding verse, he, in this, speaks of it positively. The law of God may be here understood of the whole doctrine delivered by God to his church, consisting of doctrines, precepts, promises, and threatenings, &c.; or more particularly of the preceptive part of it, which is commonly called his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:3

Psalms 1:3. And, or For, he shall be like a tree, &c. This is the proof of that blessedness of a good man which he had only asserted, Psalms 1:1. He shall be fruitful and flourishing. By his meditations on the law of God, his graces and virtues shall be nourished and increased, and he shall be thoroughly furnished for every good word and work. The means of grace are those rivers of water near which the trees of righteousness are planted, and from these they receive supplies of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:4

Psalms 1:4. The ungodly are not so Their condition is far different; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away Withered and worthless, restless and unquiet, without form or stability, blown about by every wind, and, at length, finally dispersed from the face of the earth, by the breath of God’s displeasure, and driven into the fire which never shall be quenched. Their seeming felicity hath no firm foundation, but quickly vanishes, and flies away, as chaff before the wind. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:5

Psalms 1:5 . The ungodly shall not stand in the judgment Shall not endure the time of trial, which will assuredly come. It may be that God will arise, and judge, and punish them by temporal calamities, and that these will fill their consciences with horror, and cause their hearts to fail. But if not, if they escape these, it is certain they shall not stand, nor escape condemnation and wrath in the great and general judgment of the whole world. Nor sinners in the congregation of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 1:6

Psalms 1:6. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous As he searcheth the reins and the heart, and perfectly knows all his people, so he approves, loves, and delights in them, and in their conduct and conversation, and therefore will recompense them; but the way of the ungodly shall perish All their designs and courses shall come to nothing, and they shall perish with them. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 1:1-6

Pslam 1 The godly and the ungodlyThis psalm is really an introduction to the whole collection. It shows the life of the godly and the reward it brings, and the life of the ungodly and the judgment it will receive. God is the supreme controller of each person’s destiny, and he orders everything according to his own righteousness.In both their thought and their behaviour, the godly are different from others. They are constantly increasing their knowledge of God’s Word, and as they allow that Word... read more
