Psalms 1 & 2
The first two psalms work together as an introduction to the whole Psalms scroll. When read side by side, they contain many overlapping words and ideas, so reading both together is crucial for understanding them individually. Join Jon and Tim as they meditate on these foundational psalms and their influence on the whole Bible.
The Good Life According to Psalm 1
The Psalms scroll—Israel’s ancient hymn book—has deeply shaped the worship and prayers of millions of people over several millennia. The first two psalms work together as a unified introduction to the whole collection. Psalm 1 starts with the phrase “How good is life for the man who…” or in most English translations, “Blessed is the man who…” We then find a list of activities to avoid and an instruction to practice daily Scripture meditation. So how does this way of living lead to “the good life”? And what happens to those who follow it—and to those who don’t? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a short series in Psalms 1 and 2 by first meditating on Psalm 1.
