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