The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1
How blessed is the man who (A)does not walk in the (B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the (a)(C)path of sinners,
Nor (D)sit in the seat of scoffers!
2
But his (E)delight is (F)in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates (G)day and (H)night.
3
He will be like (I)a tree firmly planted by (b)streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its (c)leaf does not wither;
And (d)in whatever he does, (J)he prospers.
