1 God’s blessings follow you and await you at every turn:
    when you don’t follow the advice of those who delight in wicked schemes,
When you avoid sin’s highway,
    when judgment and sarcasm beckon you, but you refuse.
2 For you, the Eternal’s Word is your happiness.
    It is your focus—from dusk to dawn.
3 You are like a tree,
    planted by flowing, cool streams of water that never run dry.
Your fruit ripens in its time;
    your leaves never fade or curl in the summer sun.
No matter what you do, you prosper.

4 For those who focus on sin, the story is different.
    They are like the fallen husk of wheat, tossed by an open wind, left deserted and alone.
5 In the end, the wicked will fall in judgment;
    the guilty will be separated from the innocent.
6 Their road suddenly will end in death,
    yet the journey of the righteous has been charted by the Eternal.
