He loves the Lord’s teachings.
    He thinks about those teachings day and night.
He is strong, like a tree planted by a river.

    which yields its fruit(G) in season
and whose leaf(H) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(I)

Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff(J)
    that the wind blows away.
