The person who trusts in Yahweh will always prosper, just like a tree does when it is planted by a river. It is not affected when there is no rain. Alternate translation: “he will be like a tree that someone has planted by water”.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) It will not fear the heat when it comes … It is not anxious in a year of drought

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_was like,a_tree planted on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters and_[which],at stream sends_out roots_of,its and=not fear that/for/because/then/when comes heat and=it_was leafage_of,its green and=in=year_of drought not anxious and=not cease from,producing fruit )

Yahweh speaks of a tree that draws its water from a stream being unaffected by heat and drought as if the tree were unafraid of these things. Alternate translation: “The heat will not affect it when it comes … No harm is caused to it in a year of drought”
