As the whirlwind passeth, so {is} the wicked no {more}: but the righteous {is} an everlasting foundation.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

The wicked desireth the net of evil {men}: but the root of the righteous yieldeth {fruit}. {the net: or, the fortress}

[A Song of degrees.] They that trust in the LORD {shall be} as mount Zion, {which} cannot be removed, {but} abideth for ever.

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

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

That the triumphing of the wicked {is} short, and the joy of the hypocrite {but} for a moment? {short: Heb. from near}

{He that} putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these {things} shall never be moved.

And blessed {be} thy advice, and blessed {be} thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to {shed} blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.

{He that} putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these {things} shall never be moved.

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; {and} those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

As the whirlwind passeth, so {is} the wicked no {more}: but the righteous {is} an everlasting foundation.

They on the rock {are they}, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
