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