Psalms 73:3-22

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

10ThereforeH3651 21his peopleH5971 returnH7725 to thisH1988 placeH1988, And watersH4325 of 22abundanceH4392 are 23drunkH4680 by them.11They sayH559, “24HowH351 does GodH410 knowH3045? And is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 25with the MostH5945 HighH5945?”12BeholdH2009, 26theseH428 are the wickedH7563; And alwaysH5769 27at easeH7961, they have increasedH7685 in wealthH2428.13SurelyH389 28in vainH7385 I have 29keptH2135 my heartH3824 pureH2135 And 30washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocenceH5356;14For I have been strickenH5060 31allH3605 dayH3117 long And 3233chastenedH8433 every morningH1242.

15IfH518 I had saidH559, “I will speakH5608 thusH3644,” BeholdH2009, I would have betrayedH898 the 34generationH1755 of Your childrenH1121.16When I 35ponderedH2803 to understandH3045 thisH2088, It was 36troublesomeH5999 in my sightH586917UntilH5704 I cameH935 into the 3738sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; Then I perceivedH995 their 39endH319.18SurelyH389 You setH7896 them in 40slipperyH2513 placesH2513; You castH5307 them downH5307 to 4142destructionH4376.19HowH349 they are 4344destroyedH8047 in a momentH7281! They are utterlyH8552 sweptH5486 awayH5486 by 45suddenH1091 terrorsH1091!20Like a 46dreamH2472 whenH4480 one awakesH7019, O LordH136, when 47arousedH5782, You will 48despiseH959 their 49formH6754.

21WhenH3588 my 50heartH3824 was embitteredH2556 And I was 51piercedH8150 52withinH3629,22Then I was 53senselessH1198 and ignorantH3808H3045; I was like 54a 55beastH929 56beforeH5973 You.
