We will begin with Psalm 1 and work our way forward, then after we finish the book, we can vote the next book. @Graceisgraceworksareworks @WS371, and whoever else wants to join.

1) Blessed is the man that doth not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. 2) But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3) For he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that will bring forth her fruits in due season: whose leaf shall not fade: so whatsoever he shall do, shall prosper. 4) The wicked are not so, but as the chaff, which the wind driveth away. 5) Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6) For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

I dont have anything important to add on this passage

In verse 1, it seems that the exemplified man that is considered "blessed" is one who leads his life in a way that is pleasing to God, avoiding a path that, in the process, would eventually lead him astray.

I find that walking seems to involve a choice and its continuance, that standing involves inflexibility and obstinacy, and that sitting involves association and participation. If we could read this the other way around, then if a man chooses to walk and continue in the advice of the godly, firmly establishing himself in the way of the obedient, and participates and associates with the respectful, then he is blessed, for his abhorrence is in the law of the flesh.
