Psalm 1:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 He is like a tree(A)
planted near streams of water,
that yields its fruit in season;
Its leaves never wither;
whatever he does prospers.
II
4 But not so are the wicked,[a] not so!
They are like chaff driven by the wind.(B)
5 Therefore the wicked will not arise at the judgment,
nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.
