Blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and whose hope is the Lord.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that spreads out its roots to the stream.
When the heat comes, it does not fear;
    its leaves stay green.
It is not concerned in a year of drought,
    and it never fails to bear fruit.
The heart is more deceitful than any other thing,
    and it is also perverse.
    Who can uncover its secrets?

    that sends out its roots by the stream.(C)

    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?
