¹ How happy is the man
who does not follow^[a] the advice of the wicked
or take^[b] the path of sinners
or join a group^[c] of mockers!^(a)
2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord's instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.^(b)
3 He is like a tree planted beside streams of water^[d]
that bears its fruit in season^[e](c)
and whose leaf does not wither.^(d)
Whatever he does prospers.^(e)

⁴ The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.^(f)
5 Therefore the wicked will not survive^[f] the judgment,^(g)
and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.

⁶ For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,^(h)
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.⁽ⁱ⁾
