Happy is the one who has not followed the counsel of the wicked,or taken the path of sinners,or joined the company of the insolent;
2
rather, this one delights in GOD’s teaching,and studiesastudies Or “recites”; lit. “utters.” that teaching day and night.
3
Such a one is like a tree planted beside streams of water,which yields its fruit in season,whose foliage never fades,and whatever it produces thrives.bit produces thrives Or “he does prospers.”
4
Not so the wicked;rather, they are like chaff that wind blows away.
5
Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment,nor will sinners, in the assembly of the righteous.
6
For GOD cherishes the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked is doomed.
