⁷ “Blessed^(A) is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
⁸ 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.

⁵ Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,
But a man of understanding will draw it out.
