1 Happy are those who don’t listen to the wicked,who don’t go where sinners go,who don’t do what evil people do.
2 They love the Lord’s teachings,and they think about those teachings day and night.
3 They are strong, like a tree planted by a river.The tree produces fruit in season,and its leaves don’t die.Everything they do will succeed.
4 But wicked people are not like that.They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.Sinners will not worship with God’s people.
6 This is because the Lord takes care of his people,but the wicked will be destroyed.
