Commentary on Psalms 1:3
This extended simile of the flourishing tree presents the fruit of meditation: spiritual prosperity and stability. The tree 'planted' (not wild) by rivers suggests intentional cultivation through God's grace. The promise of perpetual vitality ('leaf shall not wither') and success ('whatsoever he doeth shall prosper') describes covenant blessing, not materialistic prosperity, fulfilled ultimately in Christ who declared Himself the true vine (John 15:5). This prosperity includes spiritual fruitfulness, perseverance through trials, and God's favor on righteous endeavors.
