Psalms 1

Ver. 1. Blessed is the man &c.] In other words, Great is the happiness of that man, who hath not trod in the steps of the ungodly, or, if he hath at any time

been seduced by them, did not persist, like those hardened wretches, in evil courses; much less proceed so far in his impiety, as to be one of that company who deride and scoff at religion. Bp. Patrick.

Psalms 1:4

4. — like the chaff &c.] The method of winnowing their corn anciently, and as it is now practised in the East, was by throwing it up against the wind with a shovel. Dr. Shaw.
