Useful Quote about the book of Psalms... "Psalms 1 and 2 are often called the gateway to the Psalms. They belong together for many reasons not least the blesseds at the beginning and end.

This one Man, this definitive Man, is contrasted in v4 to the many wicked. The Psalm does not begin by comparing righteous people to wicked people but rather The Righteous Man is contrasted with the wicked masses. Then (presumably through the Man/Tree-of-Life causing many others to prosper like Him) we hear about other righteous ones (v5-6). When we turn to Psalm 2 we see the Man given more names. The LORDs King (v6) is here called Anointed One (Messiah, v2), and Son (v7). Though He is raged against, He will be poured out on Zion (v6) and publicly vindicated by the Father (v7) before claiming universal rule. ...
