Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 32 THE WICKED watcheth
    • B 32-33 THE RIGHTEOUS, and seeketh to slay him. Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
      • C 34 Wait on Yahweh, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when THE WICKED ARE CUT OFF, thou shalt see it.
        • D 35 I HAVE SEEN the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
          • E 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
        • D' 37 Mark the perfect man, and BEHOLD the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
      • C' 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of THE WICKED SHALL BE CUT OFF.
    • B' 39 But the salvation of THE RIGHTEOUS is of Yahweh: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
  • A' 40 And Yahweh shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from THE WICKED, and save them, because they trust in him.
