A Psalm
of Asaph. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Psalm 73:1 |
|
Surely God is good to Israel, Even to such as
are pure in heart. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:2 |
|
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My
steps had well nigh slipped. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:3 |
|
For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw
the prosperity of the wicked. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:4 |
|
For there are no pangs in their death; But their
strength is firm. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:5 |
|
They are not in trouble as other men; Neither
are they plagued like other men. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:6 |
|
Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck;
Violence covereth them as a garment. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:7 |
|
Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have
more than heart could wish. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:8 |
|
They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression:
They speak loftily. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:9 |
|
They have set their mouth in the heavens, And
their tongue walketh through the earth. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:10 |
|
Therefore his people return hither: And waters
of a full cup are drained by them. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:11 |
|
And they say, How doth God know? And is there
knowledge in the Most High? |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:12 |
|
Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway
at ease, they increase in riches. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:13 |
|
Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And
washed my hands in innocency; |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:14 |
|
For all the day long have I been plagued, And
chastened every morning. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:15 |
|
If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I
had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:16 |
|
When I thought how I might know this, It was
too painful for me; |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:17 |
|
Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And
considered their latter end. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:18 |
|
Surely thou settest them in slippery places:
Thou castest them down to destruction. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:19 |
|
How are they become a desolation in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:20 |
|
As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when
thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 73:21 |
|
For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in
my heart: |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:22 |
|
So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast
before thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:23 |
|
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou
hast holden my right hand. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:24 |
|
Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward
receive me to glory. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:25 |
|
Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is
none upon earth that I desire besides thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:26 |
|
My flesh and my heart faileth; But God is the
strength of my heart and my portion for ever. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:27 |
|
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish:
Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 73:28 |
|
But it is good for me to draw near unto God:
I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works. |
