But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 1 of Psalms. Psalm 1 functions as a gateway to the Psalter and establishes the fundamental contrast between two paths. The righteous are not defined simply by avoiding certain behaviors, but by orienting their lives toward the instruction of the Lord, presented as the object of continual meditation. The image of a tree planted beside streams of water expresses stability, fruitfulness, and permanence, while the chaff driven by the wind represents the fragility of a life without roots in God. The psalm concludes by connecting this contrast with divine judgment, showing that the chosen path has consequences.

sondern hat Lust zum Gesetz des HERRN und redet von seinem Gesetz Tag und Nacht!
Antes en la ley de Jehová está su delicia, Y en su ley medita de día y de noche.
sino que se deleita en la ley de Jehová, y en su ley medita de día y de noche.
Mais qui trouve son plaisir dans la loi de l'Eternel, Et qui la médite jour et nuit!
Anzi il cui diletto è nella Legge del Signore, E medita in essa giorno e notte.
Antes tem o seu prazer na lei do SENHOR, e na sua lei medita de dia e de noite.
