1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
The main verse I want to point out is verse 2,David Loved the law of the Lord, when i read that verse, I thought of how, that Davids favorite thing to do was READ and think about the Law of God, Because blessed is the man that walketh not in the way of sinners... and his meditation, his constant thinking about the law of God would keep him from that, though he did sin, but thats when he let down his gaurd, or when he wasnt thinking about the law of God. But for most of his life he was like the tree planted by the rivers of water, where others could see the differnce in David and Isreal because God kept giving them the victory in their battles, Which always came after he went to the Lord asking for victory. as described in chapter 2. When Isreal was ungodly they were like the chaff, They were driven into captivety, or othe consequences.
For us its the same, we have to love the word of God and his laws also, to keep us from sin, meditate in it think about it, pray about it. and you will be like that tree, Others will see a difference in your life, because of a weapon to use against sin, the word of God. If you try to do it on your own, without God, isnt that ungodly? is your righteousness as filthy rags because it points toward how good you are, and not how great God is? You will be like the chaff, driven about by the wind because you only do whats right when you feel like it.
In chapter 2 it talks about how God laughs when people want to go up against Isreal. because all David has to do is ask God for victory, and God would give it to him. obviously Isreal had to go out and fight, but God was with the swords of isreal, and its the same, sometimes we have to struggle and, we can have the sword (the word of God)but if we have sin, as an Ai, or we just dont ask god to go with us, we dont have our biggest weapon, which is God. the one that gives power to the scripture. Thats How it points to God, and not to yourself. God can lugh at Satan when he comes to attack us, because all we have to ask God to help us in our fight because we have no true power in ourselves. but we need our sword, we need to love it and meditate on it.
