Man cannot be made secure by wickedness,
but the root of the righteous is immovable.

When the whirlwind passes,
the wicked are no more,
but the righteous are secure forever.

Your discernment is blessed, and you are blessed. Today you kept me from participating in bloodshed and avenging myself by my own hand.

I have seen a fool taking root,
but I immediately pronounced a curse on his home.

He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure.
His possessions will not increase in the land.

the joy of the wicked has been brief
and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment?

Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—

who does not lend his money at interest
or take a bribe against the innocent
the one who does these things will never be moved.

A song of ascents.Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

The wicked desire what evil men have,
but the root of the righteous produces fruit.

and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,

rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, overflowing with gratitude.

The wicked desire what evil men have,
but the root of the righteous produces fruit.
