| Psalms 73:1 | Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:2 | But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping; | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:3 | Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:4 | For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:5 | They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:6 | For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:7 | Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:8 | Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:9 | Their mouth goes up to heaven; their tongues go walking through the earth. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:10 | For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:11 | And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High? | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:12 | Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:13 | As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness; | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:14 | For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:15 | If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:16 | When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes; | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:17 | Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:18 | You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:19 | How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:20 | As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:21 | My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief: | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:22 | As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:23 | But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:24 | Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:25 | Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:26 | My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:27 | For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you. | |||||||||||||||
| Psalms 73:28 | But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works. | |||||||||||||||
