When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes forever.

And I have seen foolish ones taking root, but suddenly their habitation was devoured.

For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities- let their strength be utterly exhausted.

Neither shall he grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.

But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:

For when he shall seem to be established, then he shall utterly perish, and those that knew him shall say, Where is he?

The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.

Even if he should gather silver as dust, and prepare gold as clay,

And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.

The desires of the ungodly are evil, but the roots of the godly are firmly set.

He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

A Song of Degrees. They that trust in the Lord [shall be] as Mount Zion: he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be moved.

The mountains are round about her, and [so] the Lord is round about His people, from this time forth and forever.

And blessed be your conduct, and blessed are you, who has hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; being rooted and founded in love,

having been rooted and built up in Him and being established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
