The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
The righteous shall never be removed - or disturbed from his strong position of faith in God here, much less from his coming "habitation" and blessed inheritance hereafter. So the antithesis to the succeeding clause requires the sense (John 5:24; Psalms 37:11).
But the wicked shall not inhabit the earth - permanently; in contrast to the righteous meek, who shall inhabit the regenerated earth (Proverbs 2:21; Matthew 5:5).
