1. Read Psalm 1:1-3. What is being contrasted here? And what is being predicted for each? (Hint: also see Psalm 1:4-6)

2. What do you think Psalm 1:1 means by “Blessed”? Do you think this is a guarantee that we’ll have a trouble-free life of health and wealth, or something else? Explain.

3. Psalm 1:2 describes someone who is blessed by the LORD. How might delighting and meditating on God’s Word bring us blessing?
