The Children's Bible
The Reward Of Doing Right

      Happy is the man
      Who follows not the counsel of the wicked,
      Nor takes his stand with sinners,
      Nor sits among the scoffers,
      But delights in the law of the Lord,
      And day and night meditates on it.
      For he is like a tree planted by streams of water,
      Which yields its fruit in due season,
      Whose leaf never withers,
      And all that he does prospers.
      
      Not so the wicked!
      They are like the chaff driven by the wind.
      So the wicked shall not rise up at the judgment,
      Nor sinners where the righteous are gathered;
      For the Lord directs the way of the righteous,
      But the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
