Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh,
    and Yahweh is his trust.
For he will be like a tree planted by water,
    and to the stream it sends its roots,
and it will not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves[a] will be luxuriant,
and in the year of drought it will not be anxious,
    and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.

Footnotes

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.

    and they never stop producing fruit.
