How to Be Blessed

I hope you all know this psalm word-for-word. My mother made me memorize it when I was a child, and yours should have done so for you too. This psalm, as we have seen, is the gateway into the psalter. It describes the blessed man as the man who meditates on God's instruction, on His Torah. We have seen that, like all the psalms, this one is intended for public worship as one of the songs of the king. There is a great deal here; let's dive in and see that blessing is found in God's instruction rather than in foolish scoffing.
