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