Leader: But his delight is in the law of the Lord, People: and on his law he meditates day and night. Leader: He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. People: Whatever he does prospers. Leader: Not so the wicked! People: They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Leader: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, People: nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. Leader: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, ALL: but the way of the wicked will perish.
