Berean Standard Bible

“But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.”

Psalms 1:2

Save as image

Study note

After describing what the blessed person avoids, Psalm 1 turns to what fills their life instead. The word translated law is torah, which means God's instruction or teaching as a whole, not only rules.
