Psalms 73:2-28

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

10ThereforeH3651 23his peopleH5971 returnH7725 to thisH1988 placeH1988, And watersH4325 of 24abundanceH4392 are 25drunkH4680 by them.11They sayH559, “26HowH351 does GodH410 knowH3045? And is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 27with the MostH5945 HighH5945?”12BeholdH2009, 28theseH428 are the wickedH7563; And alwaysH5769 29at easeH7961, they have increasedH7685 in wealthH2428.13SurelyH389 30in vainH7385 I have 31keptH2135 my heartH3824 pureH2135 And 32washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocenceH5356;14For I have been strickenH5060 33allH3605 dayH3117 long And 3435chastenedH8433 every morningH1242.

15IfH518 I had saidH559, “I will speakH5608 thusH3644,” BeholdH2009, I would have betrayedH898 the 36generationH1755 of Your childrenH1121.16When I 37ponderedH2803 to understandH3045 thisH2088, It was 38troublesomeH5999 in my sightH586917UntilH5704 I cameH935 into the 3940sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; Then I perceivedH995 their 41endH319.18SurelyH389 You setH7896 them in 42slipperyH2513 placesH2513; You castH5307 them downH5307 to 4344destructionH4376.19HowH349 they are 4546destroyedH8047 in a momentH7281! They are utterlyH8552 sweptH5486 awayH5486 by 47suddenH1091 terrorsH1091!20Like a 48dreamH2472 whenH4480 one awakesH7019, O LordH136, when 49arousedH5782, You will 50despiseH959 their 51formH6754.

21WhenH3588 my 52heartH3824 was embitteredH2556 And I was 53piercedH8150 54withinH3629,22Then I was 55senselessH1198 and ignorantH3808H3045; I was like 56a 57beastH929 58beforeH5973 You.23Nevertheless 59I am continuallyH8548 with You; You have takenH270 holdH270 of my rightH3225 handH3027.24With Your counselH6098 You will 60guideH5148 me, And afterwardH310 61receiveH3947 me 62to gloryH3519.

2563WhomH4310 have I in heavenH8064 but You? And 64besidesH5973 You, I desireH2654 nothingH3808 on earthH776.26My 65fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 may failH3615, But GodH430 is the 66strengthH6697 of my heartH3824 and my 67portionH2506 foreverH5769.27For, beholdH2009, 68those who are farH7369 from You will 69perishH6; You have 70destroyedH6789 allH3605 those who 7172are unfaithfulH2181 to You.28But as for me, 73the nearnessH7132 of GodH430 is my goodH2896; I have madeH7896 the LordH136 74GodH3068 my 75refugeH4268, That I may 76tellH5608 of allH3605 Your worksH4399.
