SUMMARY: The first psalm in the book of Psalms talks about the importance of having an intimate relationship with God and being committed to following His word. It also emphasizes the idea that as Christians, we should expect blessings and prosperity in our lives. However, this does not mean that we will not face difficulties or problems. The psalm also warns against associating with wicked people and indulging in sinful behavior, as this can lead to a hardening of the heart and a rejection of the things of God. Ultimately, the psalm encourages us to stay focused on God and His teachings, and to trust that He will guide us through the ups and downs of life.
The speaker talks about the danger of becoming a mocker and losing the childlike attitude towards the word of God. He emphasizes the importance of delighting in and meditating on the word of God day and night, and how this leads to a blessed life. He uses the image of a tree planted by streams of water to illustrate the strength and vitality that comes from constantly feeding on the word of God. He also talks about the danger of losing vigor and becoming tired as one goes through life, but how the word of God can constantly refresh and renew one's spirit.
The Psalm 1 describes a life of a person who is rooted in God's word, and who is like a tree planted by a river that yields fruit in its season. The speaker encourages listeners to cultivate a positive and aggressive attitude towards life, to meditate on God's word, and to fight for the blessings that God has promised. He emphasizes the importance of living in sync with God's timing and not being anxious or hasty in pursuing one's desires. The speaker believes that when a person is centered in God's power, they become like a magnet that attracts good things.
Ask God to help you find the balance between striving and holy effort, so that you can rest in your power and attract good things. Struggle for this blessing and know that everything you do will prosper. God is faithful to those who love Him, and will give them the desires of their heart. Don't dwell on difficult times, they are just a passing stage. Enjoy the good things in life, God created them for you. Trust in His promises and know that you are blessed.

The first psalm in the book of psalms is important, it’s the one that’s put at the beginning, something special that God wants to say introducing the whole collection of psalms.
“…Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither, whatever he does prospers. But not so the wicked, they are like the chaff that the wind blows away, therefore the wicked will stand in the judgment nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous, for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish…”
