(A)Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh
And whose (B)trust is Yahweh.
And he will be like a (C)tree planted by the water,
That sends forth its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of (D)drought
Nor refrain from yielding fruit.

“The (E)heart is more (F)deceitful than all else
And is [a]desperately (G)sick;
Who can know it?

  1. Jeremiah 17:9 Or incurably

“But blessed(A) is the one who trusts(B) in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.(C)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought(D)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”(E)

The heart(F) is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?
