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.

  1. Psalm 1:2 ponders by talking to himself
  2. Psalm 1:3 channels

but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law they meditate day and night.
They are like trees
    planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
    and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.

The wicked are not so,
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
