Psalms 73

A Psalm of Asaph.

1

Surelyh389 Godh430 is  agoodh2896a to Israelh3478, To those whoh1249 are  bpureh1249 in hearth3824!

2

But as for me,  amy feeth7272 cameh5186 closeh4592 to stumblingh5186, My stepsh804a  1had almosth369 slippedh8210.

3

For I was  aenvioush7065 of the  1arroganth1984b As I sawh7200 the  bprosperityh7965 of the wickedh7563.

4

For thereh369 are noh369 painsh2784 in their deathh4194, And their  1bodyh193a is fath1277.

5

They are  anot  1in troubleh5999 as other  2menh582, Norh3808 are they  bplaguedh5060  3likeh5973 mankindh120.

6

Thereforeh3651 prideh1346 is  atheir necklaceh6059; The  bgarmenth7897 of violenceh2555 coversh5848b them.

7

Their eyeh5869  1bulgesh3318 from  afatnessh2459; The imaginationsh4906 of their hearth3824  2runh5674a rioth5674a.

8

They  amockh4167 and  1wickedlyh7451b speakh1696 of oppressionh6233; They  bspeakh1696 from on highh4791.

9

They have  aseth7896 their mouthh6310  1against the heavensh8064, And their tongueh3956  2paradesh1980 through the earthh776.

10

Thereforeh3651  1his peopleh5971a returnh7725 to thish1988 placeh1988, And watersh4325 of  aabundanceh4392 are  2drunkh4680 by them.

11

They sayh559, " aHowh351a does Godh410 knowh3045? And is thereh3426 knowledgeh1844  1with the Mosth5945b Highh5945b?"

12

Beholdh2009,  atheseh428 are the wickedh7563; And alwaysh5769  bat easeh7961, they have increasedh7685 in wealthh2428.

13

Surelyh389  ain vainh7385b I have  1kepth2135 my hearth3824 pureh2135 And  bwashedh7364 my handsh3709 in innocenceh5356;

14

For I have been strickenh5060  aallh3605 dayh3117 long And  1 bchastenedh8433b every morningh1242.

15

Ifh518 I had saidh559, "I will speakh5608 thush3644," Beholdh2009, I would have betrayedh898 the  agenerationh1755 of Your childrenh1121.

16

When I  aponderedh2803 to understandh3045 thish384, It was  1troublesomeh5999 in my sighth5869

17

Untilh5704 I cameh935 into the  1 asanctuaryh4720 of Godh410; Then I perceivedh995 their  bendh319.

18

Surelyh389 You seth7896 them in  aslipperyh2513b placesh2513b; You casth5307 them downh5307 to  1 bdestructionh4376.

19

Howh349 they are  1 adestroyedh8047 in a momenth7281! They are utterlyh8552 swepth5486 awayh5486 by  bsuddenh1091 terrorsh1091!

20

Like a  adreamh2472 whenh4480 one awakesh7019a, O Lordh136, when  barousedh5782, You will  cdespiseh959 their  1formh6754.

21

Whenh3588 my  ahearth3824 was embitteredh2556a And I was  bpiercedh8150  1withinh3629,

22

Then I was  asenselessh1198 and ignoranth3808h3045; I was like  1a  bbeasth929  2beforeh5973 You.

23

Nevertheless  aI am continuallyh8548 with You; You have takenh270 holdh270 of my righth3225 handh3027.

24

With Your counselh6098 You will  aguideh5148 me, And afterwardh310  breceiveh3947 me  1to gloryh3519b.

25

 aWhomh4310 have I in heavenh8064 but You? And  1besidesh5973 You, I desireh2654a nothingh3808 on earthh776.

26

My  afleshh7607 and my hearth3824 may failh3615, But Godh430 is the  1strengthh6697 of my hearth3824 and my  bportionh2506 foreverh5769.

27

For, beholdh2009,  athose who are farh7369 from You will  bperishh6; You have  1destroyedh6789 allh3605 those who  2 care unfaithfulh2181 to You.

28

But as for me,  athe nearnessh7132 of Godh430 is my goodh2896a; I have madeh7896 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 my  brefugeh4268, That I may  ctellh5608 of allh3605 Your worksh4399.
