THE TWO WAYS

1 How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!a

2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,

and he meditates on it day and night.b

3 He is like a tree planted beside flowing streamsA

that bears its fruit in its season,c

and its leaf does not wither.d

Whatever he does prospers.e
