1 Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers.

2 Rather, he delights in the teachings of the LORD and reflects on his teachings day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted beside streams- a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does.

4 Wicked people are not like that. Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.

5 That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgment and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather.

6 The LORD knows the way of righteous people, but the way of wicked people will end.
