Psalms 1:6

The teaching of the Psalm is grounded on the doctrine of divine Providence. Each clause of the verse implies the supplement of its antithesis to the other clause. -The lord knows the way of the righteous," and under His care it is a -way of life" (Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 12:28); -a way of peace" (Isaiah 59:8); -a way eternal" (Psalms 139:24). Equally He knows the way of the wicked, and by the unalterable laws of His government it can lead only to destruction; it is a way of death (Proverbs 14:12).

knoweth Divine knowledge cannot be abstract or ineffectual. It involves approval, care, guidance; or abandonment, judgement. The righteous man's course of life leads to God Himself; and He takes care that it does not fail of its end (Nahum 1:7; 2 Timothy 2:19).
