1Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join those who make fun of others;
2instead, that person finds joy in Yahweh's law and thinks about his law day and night.
3They will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which produces its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not dry up. Everything they do will succeed.
4The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5Therefore, the wicked will not stand in judgment, nor will sinners be part of the community of the righteous.
6Because Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will lead to destruction.
