King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 73
1
A psalm for Asaph: Truly, God is good to Israel, to the pure in heart.
2
And I, a little stretched out, my feet like no one, poured out my distress.
3
For I was zealous of the foolish; I saw the peace of the wicked.
4
For there are no divisions for them, and they are healthy, perhaps.
5
In the toil of mankind there is no profit, and with man they shall not be touched.
6
Therefore, the neck of pride will be wrapped with violence.
7
He came out from the fat of their eyes; their thoughts passed over the heart.
8
They will speak and talk about oppression from on high they will declare.
9
They set their mouth in the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.
10
Therefore, He will return His people home, and the waters of fullness will be diminished for them.
11
And they said, "How can God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12
Behold, these are the wicked, and they are at ease in the world, they have gained strength.
13
But I have only cleansed my heart, and I will wash my hands in innocence.
14
And I was afflicted all the day and I rebuked in the mornings.
15
If I said, "I will speak like this," behold, I have betrayed your children.
16
And I have considered this; it is labor to me; it is in my eyes.
17
Until I come to the sanctuaries of God, I will understand the end of them.
18
But in portions you shall place for them the burden.
19
How did they become a desolation like a moment, swept away from the ruins?
20
Like a dream from the summer, my Lord in the city, you will be despised.
21
For my heart was hot within me, and in my contemplation my kidneys were troubled.
22
And I am a brute, and I do not know; I was with you like the animals.
23
And I am always with you; you have taken hold of my right hand.
24
In your counsel, guide me, and afterward, you will take me in glory.
25
Who is for me in the heavens, and with you I do not desire on the earth.
26
All my flesh and my heart, the rock of my heart, and my portion, God, forever.
27
For behold, your lovers will abandon you; you have made all those who commit adultery with you perish.
28
And I drew near to God for good; I will tell of all your works.
