Psalms 73–89The Tragedy of the Wicked, and the Blessedness of Trust in God
Chapter 73
-
Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.
-
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.
-
For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
-
For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm.
-
They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.
-
Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment.
-
Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish.
-
They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily.
-
They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth.
-
Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
-
And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?"
-
Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches.
-
Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.
-
For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.
-
If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
-
When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me--
-
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end.
-
Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
-
Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
-
As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
-
Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind.
-
I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
-
Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand.
-
You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
-
Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
-
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
-
For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
-
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 Your works.
