Aug 3, 2021 · Grab your Bible and read Psalm 1:1. The first word of Psalm 1 is well known. “Blessed” is how it’s often translated into English. “Blessed is the man” (or woman/child/person). The Psalm goes on to give the reasons why that person is blessed. Blessed can be such an abstract idea in English. What does it really mean?
Thus Psalm 1 begins with ashrei-ha'ish and Psalm 2 ends with ashrei kol choso vo. Ashrei can also mean "enriched." Enriched is the man who has not walked after the advice of the wicked, nor stood on the path of sinners, nor sat among the scorners. Walk, stand, sit: the progression is unmistakable.
