1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalms 1 compares the blessed and the wicked. In verse 1, it is important to note the definition of counsel is guided. Therefore, I feel the blessed are free to walk with the wicked to one day bring them to Christ, so long as the blessed are not being "guided" by the wicked. The blessed read the bible and pray during all hours of a day. As for the wicked and the sinner, they will perish on judgment day. The great comparison is between the tree planted by the stream and the wicked who are like chaff. The tree planted by the stream will get a constant supply of water while the chaff is dried up and worthless.
