Summary/Abstract: The purpose of biblical and scientific literature is to facilitate the interpretation of the biblical text. When it comes to Ps 1, we can notice a significant variety of quite often opposed approaches and results offered by researchers. The article attempts to explore the possibility of a solid interpretation of the Ps 1, in spite of diversity of opinions which dominate in the scientific literature. To accomplish this we won’t investigate the issues regarding which the scientists have already offered equally valid, opposed arguments, failing to achieve greater intelligibility. We’ll use the givennesses over which there is the broadest consensus. Supposing a wide, yet unused potential of interpretation, included in the very text of the psalm in a form of the abundance of semantic units and imagery, the paper explores their correlation, incorporation within particular literary-stylistic figures and the interaction in their allocation from the beginning towards the last part of the psalm.
