He will be like (A)a tree planted by [a]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its [b]leaf does not wither;
And [c]in whatever he does, (B)he prospers.

The wicked are not so,
But they are like (C)chaff which the wind blows away.
Therefore (D)the wicked will not stand in the (E)judgment,
Nor sinners in (F)the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord [d](G)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of (H)the wicked will perish.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
