Thanks for this James. I'd not seen the connection between Ps 1 and Ecclesiastes 3. The resurrection is surely the right way to understand that! Lovely stuff.
By the way, יוֹדֵעַ isn't quite the last verb in the psalm - that's תֹּאבֵד.
What's the matter with the line in Eccl. that you footnote it? Are you saying you can't dance, or what? A dance doesn't have to be with a partner, think of it as a sort of a celebration after scoring a goal. It doesn't have to be ostentatious like some however. Think of how David celebrated before the Lord. I am not saying this is part of the weekly church service though unlike some folks who do this every week.
