¹ Great blessings belong to those
    who don't listen to evil advice,
who don't live like sinners,
    and who don't join those who make fun of God.^[a]
2 Instead, they love the Lord's teachings
    and think about them day and night.
³ So they grow strong,
    like a tree planted by a stream—
a tree that produces fruit when it should
    and has leaves that never fall.
Everything they do is successful.

⁴ But the wicked are not like that.
    They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
⁵ When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty.
    Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.^[b]
6 The Lord shows his people how to live,
    but the wicked have lost their way.
