Rather, he delights in the teachings of Yahweh
    and reflects on his teachings day and night.
He is like a tree planted beside streams—
    a tree that produces fruit in season
        and whose leaves do not wither.
    He succeeds in everything he does.[a]

    Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.

    which yields its fruit(G) in season
and whose leaf(H) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(I)

But (A)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
(B)And in His law he [a]meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
(C)Planted by the [b]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall (D)prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are (E)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
