Happy are those
who reject the advice of evil
people,
who do not follow the example
of sinners
or join those who have no use
for God.
Instead, they find joy in obeying
the Law of the Lord,
and they study it day and night.
They are like trees that grow
beside a stream,
that bear fruit at the right time,
and whose leaves do not dry up.
They succeed in everything
They do.
But evil pepole are not like this
at all;
They are like straw that the wind
blows away.
Sinners will be condemned by God
and kept apart from God's own
pepole.
The righteous are guided and
protected by the Lord,
but the evil are on the way to
their doom.
