Commentary on Psalms 1:6

Theological / Devotional

The Lord knoweth. God concerns Himself with the righteous. Therefore, they prosper. The last verse of the psalm gives the final reason for the different endings of the two ways. Since God knows, He discriminates, and He approves or condemns according to the eternal standards.

“One lesson and only one history may be said to repeat with distinctness: that the world is built somehow on moral foundations; that in the long run it is well with the good: in the long run it is ill with the wicked” (Froude quoted in Soncino, on the Psalms).
