¹ How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!^(A)

¹⁶ But their prosperity is not of their own doing.
The counsel of the wicked is far from me!^(A)

¹⁸ But it was he who filled their houses with good things.
The counsel of the wicked is far from me!
