For he shall be (A)like a shrub in the desert,
And (B)shall not see when good comes,
But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
(C)In a salt land which is not inhabited.

“Blessed(D) is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be (E)like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
