Psalm 73 KJV

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