7 Blessed is the man that is steadfast in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out her roots by the river and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green and shall not be fatigued in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who shall know it?
10 I the Lord search the heart; I try the kidneys, even to give each man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.
11 As the partridge that steals that which she did not hatch, is he that gets riches and not with righteousness; in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 The throne of glory, height from the beginning, is the place of our sanctification.
13 O hope of Israel! Lord, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed; and those that depart from me shall be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.
