web@Psalms:73:2 @ But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.

web@Psalms:73:3 @ For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

web@Psalms:73:4 @ For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.

web@Psalms:73:5 @ They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.

web@Psalms:73:6 @ Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.

web@Psalms:73:7 @ Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

web@Psalms:73:8 @ They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

web@Psalms:73:9 @ They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.

web@Psalms:73:10 @ Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.

web@Psalms:73:11 @ They say, "How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"

web@Psalms:73:12 @ Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

web@Psalms:73:13 @ Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,

web@Psalms:73:14 @ For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.

web@Psalms:73:15 @ If I had said, "I will speak thus"; behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.

web@Psalms:73:17 @ Until I entered God's sanctuary, and considered their latter end.

web@Psalms:73:18 @ Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.

web@Psalms:73:19 @ How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.

web@Psalms:73:20 @ As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."} when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.

web@Psalms:73:21 @ For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.

web@Psalms:73:22 @ I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

web@Psalms:73:23 @ Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.

web@Psalms:73:24 @ You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

web@Psalms:73:25 @ Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.

web@Psalms:73:26 @ My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

web@Psalms:73:27 @ For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
