They that are of a froward heart &c. They are odious to God, who study to compass their end by wicked means; but they whose exact observance of the rules of righteousness, in the whole course of their lives, testifies the integrity of their hearts, are highly in his favour and love. Though hand join in hand Though the wicked be fortified against God's judgments by a numerous issue, and kindred, and friends, and by mutual strong combinations; they shall not be unpunished They shall not be able, either totally to prevent God's judgments, or to hinder them from coming in their days. They shall be punished in their own persons as well as in their posterity. But the seed of the righteous Who follow the steps of their ancestors' righteousness, though they may fall into trouble, yet in due time shall be delivered Namely, without any such auxiliaries, by God's special providence. Though justice may come slowly to punish the wicked, and mercy to save the righteous, yet both will come surely.
