"Blessed is the one... whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night."
(Psalm 1)

What is the "law of the Lord"? Was the Psalm referring to laws in the narrative texts of the Bible, or is it what God has revealed to the heart of the person expressing the psalm?

I have been told that the Psalms were written first, and then afterwards, the stories containing the laws were written later, in order to give a concrete illustration of what was in the Psalms. Is this right, or do I have it backwards?

What does "law of the Lord" refer to specifically?

Thanks.

Why none other than the תורת משה- Torah/Law of Moses which is written/oral and contains the Taryug Miztvot (613 commandments)

Really? Then why do you keep talking about this "Yeshua" guy. He is as relevant to modern Judaism as Muhammad.
