Subject: what is the tree of psalm 1 |
Bible Note: Hi kykajun, and j.smart, Welcome to the the forum. I think you will enjoy it. J.smart, I like your answers already. We might talk also of other possible references to a tree. I think that righteousness is not far away from this word. The "tree" prospers in whatever he does because "the Lord knows the way of the righteous..." Psalm 1:6. Jeremiah 17:8, and 10,"I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds." Also reference in my Study Bible is Psalms 92:12. "The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He [writing style, actually he] will grow like a cedar in Lebanon." The righteous will flourish. Why? In order to declare or show forth that "the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him." Or, possibly, "For the Lord is upright; my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him." Since trees aren't too far removed from grass, Psalm 103:15-18 wouldn't be a far removed reference to my mind. Enjoy the forum. Later, Ray |
