The first passage is Psalm 1 isn't necessarily saying that the "wicked" are those people who are actively pursuing evil, rather, the Psalm is talking about life, in general, and how it is filled with immorality and immoral people. There is deceit and lies all around us and that is what the Psalm is warning about.
Psalm 1 warns us that there are friends of God (whom he calls righteous) as well as enemies of God (whom he calls godless). In order to become happy people we must not ever do what the godless...
Another teaching from the Psalm is not to scorn what God is teaching us.
Psalm 1 is teaching man that he must light up his entire soul with the inspiration of God. God can bring both refreshment and light to a person.

The Lord will lead one to safety always. One can simply believe in something higher to get the meaning of this; it doesn't have to be Jesus. Psalm 127, contrarily is confusing because it states that unless the Lord builds the house, it is built in vain. This seems to be more literal, but I do get the idea. Unless the people building the house are doing it with
For this reason, it is important to identify the most basic differences between Hinduism and Christianity (Christian Response to Hinduism (http://contenderministries.org/hinduism/christianresponse.php)." While Hindus believe in a Creator the truth behind that creator is that there are many Gods within the Brahman. The Christian faith provides one Lord, one God and one true creator.

However, although Machiavelli held firm in his belief that the Church should not have the same governing functions as the State, he provided the example of Pope Julius in demonstrating how, if a religious leader holds firm to his beliefs and manner of disciplining his clergy, he can establish a strong clergy and can yield influence and power over the State and civil society.
