Another way to understand the progression of sin in Psalm 1 is the way my Reformation Study Bible describes it. Walking is a pedestrian, infrequent thing - not a way of life. Standing implies taking a stand, becoming settled into a way of life. Sitting implies being seated in front of disciples - teaching others to sin.
.
I thought that was similar to the way I read it but I'd not picked up on the image of the teacher seated at the front of the class. I rather saw it as motion and potential for spiritual progress - one is walking, another is at a standstill, another is seated, inert.
