Psalm 73:1 {A Psalm of Asaph.} Truly{Or, yet} God430 is good2896 to Israel,3478 even to such as are of a clean1249 heart.3824{Heb. clean of heart} cr 2 But as for me, my feet7272 were almost4592 gone;5186 5186 my steps838 had well nigh369 slipped.8210 cr 3 For I was envious7065 at the foolish,1984 when I saw7200 the prosperity7965 of the wicked.7563 cr 4 For there are no bands2784 in their death:4194 but their strength193 is firm.1277{Heb. fat} cr 5 They are not in trouble5999 as other men;582{Heb. in the trouble of other men} neither are they plagued5060 like5973{Heb. with} other men.120 cr 6 Therefore pride1346 compasseth them about as a chain;6059 violence2555 covereth5848 them as a garment.7897 cr 7 Their eyes5869 stand out3318 with fatness:2459 they have more5674 than heart3824 could wish.4906{Heb. they pass the thoughts of the heart} cr 8 They are corrupt,4167 and speak1696 wickedly7451 concerning oppression:6233 they speak1696 loftily.4791 cr 9 They set8371 their mouth6310 against the heavens,8064 and their tongue3956 walketh1980 through the earth.776 cr 10 Therefore his people5971 return7725 7725 hither:1988 and waters4325 of a full4392 cup are wrung out4680 to them. cr 11 And they say,559 How doth God410 know?3045 and is there3426 knowledge1844 in the most High?5945 cr 12 Behold, these are the ungodly,7563 who prosper7961 in the world;5769 they increase7685 in riches.2428 cr

Psalm 73:13 Verily I have cleansed2135 my heart3824 in vain,7385 and washed7364 my hands3709 in innocency.5356 cr 14 For all the day3117 long have I been plagued,5060 and chastened8433{Heb. my chastisement was} every morning.1242 cr 15 If I say,559 I will speak5608 thus;3644 behold, I should offend898 against the generation1755 of thy children.1121 cr 16 When I thought2803 to know3045 this, it was too painful5999 for me;5869{Heb. it was labour in mine eyes} cr 17 Until I went935 into the sanctuary4720 of God;410 then understood995 I their end.319 cr 18 Surely thou didst set7896 them in slippery places:2513 thou castedst them down5307 into destruction.4876 cr 19 How are they brought into desolation,8047 as in a moment!7281 they are utterly5486 consumed8552 with terrors.1091 cr 20 As a dream2472 when one awaketh;6974 so, O Lord,136 when thou awakest,5782 thou shalt despise959 their image.6754 cr 21 Thus my heart3824 was grieved,2556 and I was pricked8150 in my reins.3629 cr 22 So foolish1198 was I, and ignorant:3045{Heb. I knew not} I was as a beast929 before thee.{Heb. with thee} cr 23 Nevertheless I am continually8548 with thee: thou hast holden270 me by my right3225 hand.3027 cr 24 Thou shalt guide5148 me with thy counsel,6098 and afterward310 receive3947 me to glory.3519 cr 25 Whom have I in heaven8064 but thee? and there is none upon earth776 that I desire2654 beside thee. cr 26 My flesh7607 and my heart3824 faileth:3615 but God430 is the strength6697{Heb. rock} of my heart,3824 and my portion2506 for ever.5769 cr 27 For, lo, they that are far7369 from thee shall perish:6 thou hast destroyed6789 all them that go a whoring2181 from thee. cr 28 But589 it is good2896 for me to draw near7132 to God:430 I have put7896 my trust4268 in the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I may declare5608 all thy works.4399 cr
