And he will be like a juniper in the wilderness,[a]
    and he will not see when good comes,
and he will dwell in the parched places in the desert,[b]
    in a land of salt flats,[c] where no one lives.
Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh,
    and Yahweh is his trust.
For he will be like a tree planted by water,
    and to the stream it sends its roots,
and it will not fear when heat comes,
    and its leaves[d] will be luxuriant,
and in the year of drought it will not be anxious,
    and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.
