Psalms 1

Psalms 1:1

THat walketh not] who in his deliberation concerning his manner of living, hath not betaken himselfe to follow the examples or the inducements of the wicked: [nor standeth]nor is not obdurate, and fixed in the habit and custome of sinning: [of sinners] of those who make a trade and occupation of sinning, and are elsewhere called workers of iniquity: [nor siteth] that doth not consent unto, nor take pleasure in sin, with a dead, and seared conscience, and contemneth not, nor prophanely casteth off, all manner of correction and feare of Gods judgements, which is the very height of sin, see Prov. 18. 1. and 21. 24.

Psalms 1:2

In the law] that is to say, in all Gods revealed word: for to draw the ground of his faith, and comfort of his conscience, out of the promises of grace. Out of his commandements the rule of his life, and out of his doctrine, the light of his instruction to salvation.

Psalms 1:4

Chasse] which is the huskes of the corne, when it is threshed in the floore; meaning that they shall be without any firme stay or subsistence in their consciences, without rule in their actions and motions, without any direct aime to a certaine end, and without any profit in operation.

Psalms 1:5

Shall not stand] they shall not be able to appeare and subsist there with a secure conscience: nor they shall not be absolved by the judges sentence: nor be raised from death to glory in the resurrection. But they shall be beaten down with terror, be void and fallen from all manner of hope, and be throwne into everlasting perdition, see Luke 21:36. Ephes. 6. 13. [in the judgement] namely in the last and generall judgement.

Psalms 1:6

Knoweth] that is to say, approveth of it, and favoureth it: [the way] their whole life and conversation.
