Pslams: Psalm 1 11/12/2011
 
While I will cover the actual book of Psalms, its authors, and origins in greater detail when we reach there, I want to gradually intersperse the Psalms throughout our journey through the Bible.
This is for two reasons:
1) We are doing very detailed studies.  Everyone (including me!) needs a day or so to stop "studying" and instead browse God's word for pleasure. 
2) When we do reach the Book of Psalms, I don't want to spend 150 days posting a single psalm with very few notes, as is the case with most of the Psalms. 

So, enjoy the relaxing days when I post just the a psalm!  They will, of course, also be posted under their appropriate section on the website.  In this case, Psalms is under the "OT 2" tab. 

Psalm 1:
True Happiness in God's Law

1 Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked,
Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.
2 Rather, the law of the Lord is their joy; God's law they study day and night.
3 They are like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields is fruit in season;
Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers.
4 But not the wicked!  They are like chaff driven by the wind.
5 Therefore the wicked will not survive judgement, nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.
6 The Lord watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
