1 Happy is the person who doesn’t listen to the wicked.He doesn’t go where sinners go.He doesn’t do what bad people do.
2 He loves the Lord’s teachings.He thinks about those teachings day and night.
3 He is strong, like a tree planted by a river.It produces fruit in season.Its leaves don’t die.Everything he does will succeed.
4 But wicked people are not like that.They are like useless chaffthat the wind blows away.
5 So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.Sinners will not worship God with good people.
6 This is because the Lord protects good people.But the wicked will be destroyed.
