Psalm 1:4-6 “TWO WAYS AND TWO DESTINIES. II”

The author of Psalm one, is unknown, though it’s thought to be David who wrote most of the Psalms in Book One, it’s language has brought about the speculation that it could be his son Solomon that wrote it during the compilation of his father’s Psalms.

It’s the introductory Psalm, even as the first Psalm, which I personally categorized as a wisdom Psalm.

The first three verses describe the godly man, while the last three the ungodly man or the wicked! Thus, the title “Two ways and two destinies”.

To get to their destiny one has to be on the right way, taking the right course / journey.

He is ‘blessed’ – happy and fortunate, like them that ascribe to the Kingdom of God in Jesus Christ’s sermon on the mount’s beatitudes, who neither walks in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor seats in the seat of the scornful.

Even as caricature of Hebrew poetry, observe the progression by which one is veered from the ways of godliness.

Not all ways lead to God, even as Jesus Christ pointed it out that there are two ways; Matthew 7:13,14. It’s right or wrong; good or bad; light or darkness, either of which one only has choice to make to determine their destiny.
