‏ Psalms 1:1

The Happy Man.

This psalm begins by describing the character and blessings of a godly person. It explains what makes someone truly happy in God’s eyes. The psalmist shows that the path we choose in life matters, and true happiness comes from following God, not from joining with those who do evil.

v. 1: The godly person avoids the influence and company of evil people . He does not walk in the advice of the ungodly, stand in the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of those who mock. Instead, he chooses his friends and his path carefully. He stays away from those who ignore God, break His laws, and make fun of what is good. This teaches us that we must be careful who we listen to and who we spend time with (Psalm 119:115 a).
