The psalm chosen to begin the collection of music brought together as the book of Psalms highlights two stark and divergent paths. The righteous path delights in God's Law (his Word), studying it and living by it, and is rewarded with a steadfast and fruitful life (prosperity using God's definition). In contrast, the wicked lack this anchor and nourishment and are ultimately unable to stand in the face of God's judgment.
As Robert Frost wrote, there is a choice of paths, but it isn't a question of which is more or less traveled by, the true question is: which path leads to God?
