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