“blessed” ? a happiness that flows from a sense of well-being and rightness… such happiness is rooted in our attitude not our environment.
Holey • Rebelling against • God’s Truth • to choose wickedness • 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. (1)
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked … DO NOT ACCEPT THE ADVICE OF THE WICKED!
Blessed is the man who does not … stand in the way of sinners DO NOT ADOPT THE LIFESTYLE OF THE WICKED!
1 John 3:9-10 NIV No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
Blessed is the man who does not … sit in the seat of mockers. DO NOT ARTICULATE SCORN WITH THE WICKED!

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NIV Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
