Psalm 1 serves as the gateway to the entire book of Psalms, emphasizing that the goal of worship is covenant faithfulness when God’s people embrace God’s covenant instruction. There is a stark contrast between two types of people, two fruits, and two outcomes. We will learn that the truly happy person recognizes that he receives God’s grace. Because of God’s initiating grace, he meditates on God’s law, a gracious gift that shapes his life.
