“Blessed(A) is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be (B)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.
