Psalm 1:1
Amplified Bible (AMP)
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.
The writer begins his psalm extolling the joys of obeying God and refusing to listen to those who discredit or ridicule Him. Our friends and associates can have a profound influence on us, often in subtle ways. If we insist on friendships with those who mock what God considers important, we might sin by becoming indifferent to God's will. Do your friends build up your faith, or do they tear it down? True friends should help, not hinder, you to draw closer to God.
