Bay Tree

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(Psa. 37:35³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. (Psalm 37:35)). The laurel, or sweet-bay (Laurus nobilis).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

From “native born,” or that which springs up without transplanting. Psalm 37:35³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. (Psalm 37:35) reads in the margin, “tree that groweth in his own soil,” a striking emblem of the wicked spreading himself in his own earthly soil.
