²⁵ When the whirlwind passes by, ^(A)the wicked is no more,
But ^(B)the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

125 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
² As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

¹⁶ Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
¹⁷ He may pile it up, but ^(A)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
¹⁸ He builds his house like a ^[a]moth,
^(B)Like a ^[b]booth which a watchman makes.

⁵ He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

^5 (A)That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a ^(B)moment?
^6 (C)Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens,
And his head reaches to the clouds,
⁷ Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
⁸ He will fly away ^(D)like a dream, and not be found;
Yes, he ^(E)will be chased away like a vision of the night.
⁹ The eye that saw him will see him no more,
Nor will his place behold him anymore.
