‏ Psalms 1:6

1:6 ^a The Lord’s care for the righteous and the demise of the wicked both demonstrate the Lord’s principle of retribution (see Gal 6:7-10 ^b). The brief and futile lives of the wicked will end, whereas the Lord and his saints will triumph (see Pss 9:5 ^c, 6 ^d, 18 ^e; 10:16 ^f; 37:20 ^g; 73:27 ^h; 92:9 ⁱ; cp. 142:4 ^j; Isa 57:1 ^k).

• The godly (see Pss 5:12 ^l; 14:5 ^m) are joyful (1:1 ⁿ) because the Lord protects and cares for them, hears them when they cry out for justice, and secures their future (see 121:3-4 ^o).

• A person’s path is their life and character.
