Context of Psalms 1:5
3He will become like a tree that grows beside streams of water. It gives its fruit at the right season. Its leaves do not fall off. Everything that person does will have a good result. 4But wicked people are as empty as chaff. The wind blows them away. So they will not go free when God judges them. Sinners cannot join with God's people, the people who are right with God. 6The Lord takes care of people who respect him. But wicked people are living in a way that will take them to a bad end.
