The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.
