| 1. | Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. |
| 2. | Rather, the law of the LORD is their joy; God's law they study day and night. |
| 3. | They are like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers. |
| 4. | But not the wicked! They are like chaff driven by the wind. |
| 5. | Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners in the assembly of the just. |
| 6. | The LORD watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin. |
