1Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers.
2But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they think about his law.
3They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper.
4But this is not true of the wicked. They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
