Fanciful readings of Psalm 1

Given that Jesus is the supremely Blessed and only perfectly Righteous One, we may see him as the tree described Psalm 1.

He is the fruitful vine of John 15.

Jesus was hung on a tree (Gal 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24). His death would bring life.

Streams of living water flow from him (John 4; 7:38; 19:34).

Does the tree of Psalm 1 recall the Tree of Life from Genesis 1? Remember that a river watering the garden flowed from Eden. (Genesis 2:9-14)

May we see the Tree of Life and this tree as a type of Christ?

Revelation 22:2 seems to echo the Psalm.
