  2. Exposition

Psalm 1:5 (ESV)

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

In Israel, this referred to the temple where God’s people met and judgment was to be spoken on good and evil. When the temple no longer functioned as a place of proper judgment between the wicked and the righteous, God eventually destroyed it.
