The rod of the wicked; the power and authority of cruel tyrants. Shall not rest; not continue for ever, nor too long. Upon the lot of the righteous; upon the habitations and persons of good men. Lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity; lest through human frailty and the great weight or long continuance of their troubles they should be driven to impatience, or to despair, or to use indirect and sinful courses to relieve themselves.
