The Comparison of two things to show that they are alike in certain respects

Psalm 1

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.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

And on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

Which yields its fruit in seasonAnd whose leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers.Not so the wicked!They are like chaff

That the wind blows away.
