1 The truly happy persondoesn’t follow wicked advice,doesn’t stand on the road of sinners,and doesn’t sit with the disrespectful.
2 Instead of doing those things,these persons love the Lord’s Instruction,and they recite God’s Instruction day and night!
3 They are like a tree replanted by streams of water,which bears fruit at just the right timeand whose leaves don’t fade.Whatever they do succeeds.
4 That’s not true for the wicked!They are like dust that the wind blows away.
5 And that’s why the wicked will have no standing in the court of justice—neither will sinnersin the assembly of the righteous.
