King James Version Psalm 1

Blessed is the man

That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

This is a didactic psalm, we do not know the author for sure

Similiar to Prov 4:14

Happy man is contrasted with the ungodly

If you want to follow along with all the ungodly, you will get hurt

The ungodly will give you foolish council

Their advice is wrong and will get you in trouble

We need counsel from time to time

Figure out what people have an expertise in

Figure out who has training in what skill

Having counselors can be a good thing

sometimes she can see things you can’t see

King James Version Psalm 1

But his delight is in the law of the LORD;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Whatever men may say, the Bible is always right.

If we stand on the law, we are in the right place.

King James Version Psalm 1

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Amazing things come to those who delight in the Lord

They can withstand the pressure

King James Version Psalm 1

The ungodly are not so:

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

the sinful people will blow away, there is no strength

there is no long lasting and positive effect

King James Version Psalm 1

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

there will be no glory in the judgment

no help in the judgment

King James Version Psalm 1

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

King James Version Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage,

And the people imagine a vain thing?

Psalm 2 shows us it is foolish to work against God and it is foolish to Work against God’s Son.

Vs 1-6 the nations cannot stop God’s plan for his son

they will pay a price when they do

He allows nations to work against him and his people for a time but ultimately he brings them into judgment

King James Version Psalm 3

A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

David is in a situation of grief and turmoil

judging by the content of the Psalm and the heading

David probably wrote this when the city of Jerusalem had been taken by Absolom

This psalm is a plea for God to help

Sela means rest

Imagine if a son grew up to rebel against you to take everything you have and get you killed

David really loved his son Absolom 

David was forced out of his home along the way

Both Absolom and Temar were considered to be good looking

Maacah was the mother of these two

2 Samuel 3:3

Maacah was a pagan woman

2 Samuel 13:1 ; 14:25

there can be humble good looking people who serve God faithfully

It made Absalom an arrogant individual
