Psalms 73:1-14

1SurelyH389 GodH430 is 1goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, To those whoH1249 are 2pureH1249 in heartH3824!2But as for me, 3my feetH7272 cameH5186 closeH4592 to stumblingH5186, My stepsH804 4had almostH369 slippedH8210.3For I was 5enviousH7065 of the 6arrogantH1984 As I sawH7200 the 7prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.4For thereH369 are noH369 painsH2784 in their deathH4194, And their 8bodyH193 is fatH1277.5They are 9not 10in troubleH5999 as other 11menH582, NorH3808 are they 12plaguedH5060 13likeH5973 mankindH120.6ThereforeH3651 prideH1346 is 14their necklaceH6059; The 15garmentH7897 of violenceH2555 coversH5848 them.7Their eyeH5869 16bulgesH3318 from 17fatnessH2459; The imaginationsH4906 of their heartH3824 18runH5674 riotH5674.8They 19mockH4167 and 20wickedlyH7451 speakH1696 of oppressionH6233; They 21speakH1696 from on highH4791.9They have 22setH7896 their mouthH6310 23against the heavensH8064, And their tongueH3956 24paradesH1980 through the earthH776.

10ThereforeH3651 25his peopleH5971 returnH7725 to thisH1988 placeH1988, And watersH4325 of 26abundanceH4392 are 27drunkH4680 by them.11They sayH559, “28HowH351 does GodH410 knowH3045? And is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 29with the MostH5945 HighH5945?”12BeholdH2009, 30theseH428 are the wickedH7563; And alwaysH5769 31at easeH7961, they have increasedH7685 in wealthH2428.13SurelyH389 32in vainH7385 I have 33keptH2135 my heartH3824 pureH2135 And 34washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocenceH5356;14For I have been strickenH5060 35allH3605 dayH3117 long And 36 37chastenedH8433 every morningH1242.
