35 I saw the wicked great in pow'r,spread like a green bay-tree:
36 He pass'd, yea, was not; him I sought,but found he could not be.
37 Mark thou the perfect, and beholdthe man of uprightness;Because that surely of this manthe latter end is peace.
38 But those men that transgressors areshall be destroy'd together;The latter end of wicked menshall be cut off for ever.
39 But the salvation of the justis from the Lord above;He in the time of their distresstheir stay and strength doth prove.
40 The Lord shall help, and them deliver:he shall them free and saveFrom wicked men; because in himtheir confidence they have.
