    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

    and on his law he meditates day and night.

    planted by streams of water
  that yields its fruit in its season,

    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

    but the folly of fools is deceiving.

    but the upright enjoy acceptance.
