Ways of the Righteous and the Ungodly

1 God blesses those people who refuse evil advice and won’t follow sinners or join in sneering at God.

2 Instead, the Law of the LORD makes them happy, and they think about it day and night.

3 They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves. Those people succeed in everything they do.

4 That isn’t true of those who are evil, because they are like straw blown by the wind.

5 Sinners won’t have an excuse on the day of judgment, and they won’t have a place with the people of God.

6 The LORD protects everyone who follows him, but the wicked follow a road that leads to ruin.
