³ A man shall not be established by wickedness; But the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

²⁵ When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

⁷ rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹² The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth `fruit'.

¹ They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.

² As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore.

⁵ He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Psalm 16 Michtam of David.

¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

¹⁸ He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

⁵ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

⁶ Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;

⁷ Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?

⁸ He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

⁹ The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.

²⁹ He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

³ I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

⁴ His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:

⁵ Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance.

³³ and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
