Psa 1:1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers
The psalmist uses three verbs ; walk,stand and sit , to describe what a blessed man should distance himself from so as to remain blessed
The word “walk” is often used in the Scriptures to denote a way of life or conduct since life is viewed as a journey and man as a traveler. Walking forms the character of the man ; that which he does in the course of life. It is that which distinguishes the man.
After the traveller ‘walked’,he decided to stand. This indicates more deliberation; a character more fixed and decided. Instead of passing along in his own regular and proper employment, he stations himself in the path where sinners usually go, and lingers and loiters there. Thus, he indicates a desire to be with them.
The sojourner decides to sit . The man referred to here does not casually and accidentally walk along with them, nor put himself in their way by standing where they are ordinarily to be found; but he has become one of them by occupying a seat with them; thus deliberately associating with them. He has an established residence among the wicked; he is permanently one of their number.( Barnes notes )
For one to be and remain blessed ,Its of Paramount importance for the pilgrim to detach and exclude self from walking ,standing or sitting on the counsel of ungodly path of sinner or the seats of the scornful lest he learn their way and be unblessed.
