The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1 How blessed is the man who AProv 4:14does not walk in the BPs 5:9, 10; 10:2-11; 36:1-4counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the 1Or wayCPs 17:4; 119:104path of sinners,
Nor DPs 26:4, 5; Jer 15:17sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his APs 119:14, 16, 35delight is BJosh 1:8in the law of the Loʀᴅ,
And in His law he meditates CPs 25:5day and DPs 63:5, 6night.
3 He will be like APs 92:12-14; Jer 17:8; Ezek 19:10a tree firmly planted by 1Or canalsstreams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its 2Or foliageleaf does not wither;
And 3Or all that he does prospersin whatever he does, BGen 39:2, 3, 23; Ps 128:2he prospers.
 
4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like AJob 21:18; Ps 35:5; Is 17:13chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore APs 5:5the wicked will not stand in the BPs 9:7, 8, 16judgment,
Nor sinners in CPs 89:5, 7the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Loʀᴅ 1Or approves or has regard toAPs 37:18; Nah 1:7; John 10:14; 2 Tim 2:19knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of BPs 9:5, 6; 11:6the wicked will perish.
