The person rooted in God's teaching is like a tree beside running water; wickedness, however impressive it appears, is weightless chaff. For Catholics this is more than advice about good behavior: grace makes it possible to bear lasting spiritual fruit. The fruitful tree also invites comparison with Christ's teaching about the vine and its branches, though that is a spiritual parallel rather than an explicit quotation of this Psalm. The Beatitudes deepen its question: what does genuine happiness look like in God's eyes?
