Psalm 1:6

This verse is the last verse of the first chapter in the book of Psalms. Upon completion of translations of chapter 2, I think I'll discuss some things within the two chapters, if they should be considered two separate chapters, what's their purpose in the book of Psalms, etc. But now, the final verse in the supposed first chapter.

כִּֽי־יֹודֵעַ יְהוָה דֶּרֶךְ צַדִּיקִים וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵֽד

Because the LORD knows the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked will perish.

This verse does not require much interpreting, its pretty obvious what it means. One thing that is interesting is the last word, "perish" is often used when talking about being lost, or even wandering. This should remind a careful reader of the OT of Israel, when they wandered the desert. They wandered because of the disobedience and their unbelief. The wicked man, spoken here in Psalm 1&2 will perish, be lost, wander, because of his disobedience and unfaithfulness. True, this probably isn't the clearest thing in this passage, it is an observation that can be made, keeping in mind the wider context of the passage, that whether the author is reminding of unfaithful Israel or not, the wicked will perish, which could be also seen as not being near the LORD.
