1 How happy is the manwho does not follow the advice of the wickedor take the path of sinnersor join a group of mockers!
2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,and he meditates on it day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
4 The wicked are not like this;instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment, and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
