he cannot see when good comes
but dwells in the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land where no one lives.(B)
The man who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed.(C)

it doesn’t fear when heat comes,
and its foliage remains green.
It will not worry in a year of drought
or cease producing fruit.

    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(F)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”(G)
