    and will not see when good comes,
but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
    in a salt land and not inhabited.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
    and whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,

and shall not fear when heat comes,

and it shall not be anxious in the year of drought,
    neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

    whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water

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