verse 31 The Law of his God is in's heart, none of his steps shall stray. verse 32 The wicked watcheth for the just, and seeketh him to slay. verse 33 Jehovah will not such an one leave up into his hand; Nor any such will he condemn when judged he doth stand.
(4) verse 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall thee exalt, Th' earth to inherit; when cut off the wicked see thou shalt. verse 35 The wi•ked man I have beheld in mighty power to be; ⟨p. 100⟩And spreading so himself abroad, like as a green bay tree.

verse 36 Nevertheless he past away, and lo then was not he: Moreover I did seek for him, but found he could not be. verse 37 Take notice of the perfect man, and th' upright one attend; Because that unto such a man peace is the latter end.
