The Negative Parallelism and Verb Progression in Psalm 1:1
Introduction to Psalm 1:1
Psalm 1:1 serves as the opening verse of the Book of Psalms, establishing the contrast between the righteous and the wicked. It presents a threefold progression of negative actions that define the character of the blessed man, using the verbs הָלַךְ (“walked”), עָמָד (“stood”), and יָשָׁב (“sat”). The structure of this verse demonstrates negative parallelism, where each phrase builds upon the previous one, intensifying the description of how the righteous man avoids the influence of sinners.
