1
Oh, the joys of those who do notfollow the advice of the wicked,or stand around with sinners,or join in with mockers.
2
But they delight in the law of the Lord,meditating on it day and night.
3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,bearing fruit each season.Their leaves never wither,and they prosper in all they do.
4
But not the wicked!They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5
They will be condemned at the time of judgment.Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6
For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
