The Psalm doesn't just stay to stay away from sin/evil but it also says to delight in the law of the Lord and to be productive. This may sound like a no-brainer but in fact, it isn't. Too often people get caught up in the things they shouldn't do, and they forget to fill their lives with the good things they should be doing. It has been said that nature abhors a vacuum and it isn't just true in nature but in our lives. If all we are doing is avoiding we produce a vacuum in our heart and something will it. If we aren't careful the very things we are trying to keep out of our lives come back in.
To put it another way, it isn't just not going down the wrong way (verse 1) but going down the right path.
