The character and condition, and the present and future destiny, of the pious and the wicked are described and contrasted, teaching that true piety is the source of ultimate happiness, and sin of misery. As this is a summary of the teachings of the whole book, this Psalm, whether designedly so placed or not, forms a suitable preface.
1. Blessed--literally, "oh, the happiness"--an exclamation of
strong emotion, as if resulting from reflecting on the subject. The use
of the plural may denote fulness and variety
(2Ch 9:7).
2. law--all of God's word then written, especially the books of Moses (compare Ps 119:1, 55, 97, &c.).
3. like a tree--
(Jer 17:7, 8).
4. not so--either as to conduct or happiness.
5. stand in the judgment--be acquitted. They shall be driven from among the good (Mt 25:45, 46).
6. knoweth the way--attends to and provides for them
(Ps 101:6;
Pr 12:10;
Ho 13:5).
