Psalms 10:6

“He hath said in his heart, etc.] To and within himself, he thought in his own mind; for the thought is the word or speech of the mind, logov endiauetov; I shall not be moved; from his prosperous and happy condition, abounding: with riches and honours; from his seat of empire, over kings, princes, and the nations of the world; flattering himself that it would never be otherwise with him than it is: even “to generation and generation”, I shall not be moved; so the words may be rendered; for [I shall] never [be] in adversity, or “in evil” f178: meaning either the evil of sin; so asserting his innocence, wiping himself clean of all iniquity, claiming to himself the title of “holiness” itself,…”

It might perhaps also be interpreted according to Zac 8:20, Zac 8:23 (vid., Kצhler, in loc.): in all time to come (it will come to pass) that I am not in misfortune.
