lesserot@Psalms:73:1 @ BOOK THIRD: A Psalm of Assaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure of heart.
lesserot@Psalms:73:2 @ But as for me, it lacked but little that my feet had been moved: almost nothing was needed that my steps had slipped.
lesserot@Psalms:73:3 @ For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
lesserot@Psalms:73:4 @ For there are no deadly fetters for them, but their strength is firm.
lesserot@Psalms:73:5 @ They share not in the trouble of mortals, and with men are they not afflicted.
lesserot@Psalms:73:6 @ Therefore is pride their neckchain: violence envelopeth them as a garment.
lesserot@Psalms:73:7 @ Their eyes start out from fatness: they have exceeded their hearts imaginings.
lesserot@Psalms:73:8 @ They scorn, and speak wickedly of oppression: loftily do they speak.
lesserot@Psalms:73:9 @ They set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh busily on the earth.
lesserot@Psalms:73:10 @ Therefore do his people turn away hither: and waters of a full cup are drained by them.
lesserot@Psalms:73:11 @ And they say, How should God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?
lesserot@Psalms:73:12 @ Behold, these are the wicked; and yet prospering continually they increase in wealth.
lesserot@Psalms:73:13 @ Verily in vain have I thus cleansed my heart, and have washed in innocency my hands:
lesserot@Psalms:73:14 @ While I was afflicted all the day, and my chastisement every morning.
lesserot@Psalms:73:15 @ But if I were to say, I will speak thus: behold, I would be treacherous against the generation of thy children.
lesserot@Psalms:73:16 @ And when I should think to know this, it would be trouble in my eyes;
lesserot@Psalms:73:17 @ Until I enter into the sanctuary of God; and understand what their future will be.
lesserot@Psalms:73:18 @ Surely thou placest them on slippery spots: thou lettest them fall down into destruction.
lesserot@Psalms:73:19 @ How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they perish, they come to their end with terrific events.
lesserot@Psalms:73:20 @ As a dream after awaking, O Lord, reject thou in wrath their image.
lesserot@Psalms:73:21 @ For it fermented in my heart, and in my reins I felt sharp thrusts;
lesserot@Psalms:73:22 @ But I was indeed foolish, and I knew it not: I was as a beast with thee.
lesserot@Psalms:73:23 @ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast seized hold of me by my right hand.
lesserot@Psalms:73:24 @ With thy counsel wilt thou guide me, and afterward take me on to glory.
lesserot@Psalms:73:25 @ Whom have I in heaven? and beside thee I desire nothing upon earth.
lesserot@Psalms:73:26 @ Though my flesh and my heart should fall; yet the rock of my heart, and my portion will be God for ever.
lesserot@Psalms:73:27 @ For, lo, those that are far from thee shall perish: thou destroyest every one that strayeth away from thee.
lesserot@Psalms:73:28 @ But as regardeth me, to draw near to God is good for me: I have put in the Lord Eternal my trust, that I may relate all thy works.
