Psalms 1:3

He is like a tree,
planted (transplanted) by streams of water [lush, full of life],
which bears its fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. And whatever he does prospers.
[In a dry climate, a reliable water supply is vital. It is likely that a date palm tree is meant here, see Jer. 17:8. These were (and still are) common in Jericho and the Jordan Valley. There are two words for planting in Hebrew. One means to sow a seed, the other is to move a plant and replant it. The latter word is used here! In the following verse, the psalm shifts from describing a righteous man to describing the wicked. There is a literary point in describing the righteous in the singular, while the wicked are many and are described in the plural. Jesus said that the path that leads to destruction is wide and many walk on it; it takes an active choice to live righteously, see Matt. 7:13–14. Jesus says that he is the way, see John 14:6. Regardless of circumstances, the righteous can flourish. The fruit does not need to be forced, but comes in due season when it is time to harvest.]
