mountaines are round about it, and Iehovah is round about his people, from this time and for ever. For the rod of wickednesse shall [unspec 3] not rest upon the lot of the just; that the just put not forth their hands unto any injurious evill. Doe good, O Iehovah, unto the good, [unspec 4] [unspec 5] and to the righteous in their hearts. But they that turne a side to their crookednesses, Iehovah will lead them away with the wor∣kers of painfull iniquitie: Peace shall be upon Israel.

Vers. 2. and Iehovah] that is, and so Iehovah, [unspec 2] which the Chaldee expoundeth, the divine presence (or majestie) of the Lord.
Vers. 3. of wickednesse] that is, of the wicked, as pride, for proud men, Psal. 36. 12. and their rod mea∣neth [unspec 3] their dominion, or power, as Psal. 2. 9. lot] that is, inheritance; as Ios. 18. 11. 1 Pet. 5. 3.
