¹ God blesses those people
    who refuse evil advice
    and won't follow sinners
    or join in sneering at God.
² Instead, the Law of the Lord
    makes them happy,
    and they think about it
    day and night.

³ They are like trees
    growing beside a stream,
trees that produce
fruit in season
    and always have leaves.
Those people succeed
    in everything they do.

⁴ That isn't true of those
    who are evil,
    because they are like straw
    blown by the wind.
⁵ Sinners won't have an excuse
    on the day of judgment,
    and they won't have a place
    with the people of God.
⁶ The Lord protects everyone
    who follows him,
    but the wicked follow a road
    that leads to ruin.
