1. The praises of a man are that he did not follow the counsel of the wicked, neither did he stand in theway of sinners nor sit in the company of scorners. 2. But his desire is in the law of the Lord, and in His lawhe meditates day and night. 3. He shall be as a tree planted beside rivulets of water, which brings forth itsfruit in its season, and its leaves do not wilt; and whatever he does prosper. 4. Not so the wicked, but[they are] like chaff that the wind drives away. 5. Therefore, the wicked shall not stand up in judgment,nor shall the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked shall perish.

However, the people whoinhabit the land are mighty, and the cities are extremely huge and fortified, and there we saw even the
