Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 1:4

4 The ungodly are not so : but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away .

Their condition is far differing from the former.

In regard either, 1. of their sinful disposition. They are vain and frothy, unprofitable and hurtful, without any root of true and solid goodness, without any certain end, or constant course, tossed to and fro with every wind of their own lusts or temptations. Or rather, 2. of their wretched condition. They are restless and unquiet in their own minds and consciences; their seeming felicity, in which they please and pride themselves, hath no firm foundation, but quickly vanisheth and fleeth away as chaf doth before the wind, and their end is to be burned. see Iob▪ 21. 18. Psal. 35. 5. Mat. 3. 12.
