Cursed be the man that trusteth in man,
and maketh flesh his arm,
and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
⁶ For he shall be like the heath in the desert,
and shall not see when good cometh;
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
in a salt land and not inhabited.
⁷ Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord,
and whose hope the Lord is.
⁸ For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
and that spreadeth out her roots by the river,
and shall not see when heat cometh,
but her leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
