“Peter highlights a contradiction between Ps 69:26 and Ps
109:8: How can Judas s office both remain unfilled and be occupied by another?
Peter provides the solution in the next two verses (1:21-22). Judas s successor
must already have been active among the apostolic group from the moment of
Jesus' baptism until his ascension.”
Creach, Jerome F.D., "Like a Tree Planted by the Temple
Stream: the Portrait of the Righteous in Psalm 1:3," The Catholic
Biblical Quarterly, 1999.

“Whatever else may be said about the introductory role of
Psalm 1, Ps 1:3a gives a particular cast to subsequent references to the temple
as security (in Pss 52:10; 92:13-15). It is now meditation on tôrâ that makes
the righteous steadfast, like a tree planted by the temple stream.”
Tuell, Steven Shawn, "Psalm 1," Interpretation,
2009.

“Psalm 1 was not placed at the opening of the Psalter by
accident: indeed, this poem may have been composed to introduce the book.”
Cadier, Jean, "The Unity of the
Church: An Exposition of John 17," Interpretation, 1957.

Fascinating – written in 1957. “But this glory, this
heavenly life which has appeared on earth, is only a seed, whose full opening,
whose full ripening and harvest will, one day, be granted in the Kingdom.”
