who kwalks not in lthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in mthe way of sinners,
nor nsits in othe seat of pscoffers;
2but his qdelight is in the law ▼
▼Or instruction
of the Lord,and on his slaw he meditates day and night.

planted by ustreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its vleaf does not wither.
wIn all that he does, he prospers.
