Such a person is like a shrub in the desert;
    when relief comes, he will not be aware of it.
He will continue to live
    in the parched areas of the desert,
    in an uninhabited salt land.
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and whose hope is the Lord.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that spreads out its roots to the stream.
When the heat comes, it does not fear;
    its leaves stay green.
It is not concerned in a year of drought,
    and it never fails to bear fruit.

“But blessed(C) is the one who trusts(D) in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.(E)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(F)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”(G)
