PS-73:1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even]
to such as are
of a clean heart.
PS-73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had
well nigh
slipped.
PS-73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the
prosperity of the
wicked.
PS-73:4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their
strength [is] firm.
PS-73:5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are
they plagued
like [other] men.
PS-73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain;
violence covereth
them [as] a garment.
PS-73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than
heart could
wish.
PS-73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]
oppression: they
speak loftily.
PS-73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their
tongue walketh
through the earth.
PS-73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a
full [cup] are
wrung out to them.
PS-73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge
in the most
High?
PS-73:12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the
world; they
increase [in] riches.
PS-73:13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed
my hands in
innocency.
PS-73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened
every
morning.
PS-73:15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
[against] the
generation of thy children.
PS-73:16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for
me;
PS-73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then]
understood I their
end.
PS-73:18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou
castedst them
down into destruction.
PS-73:19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
PS-73:20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou
awakest, thou
shalt despise their image.
PS-73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my
reins.
PS-73:22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast
before thee.
PS-73:23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast
holden [me] by
my right hand.
PS-73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward
receive me [to]
glory.
PS-73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none
upon earth
[that] I desire beside thee.
PS-73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the
strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.
PS-73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
PS-73:28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put
my trust in
the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
