Psalms 73:2-22
2But as for me, 1my feetH7272 cameH5186 closeH4592 to stumblingH5186, My stepsH804 2had almostH369 slippedH8210.3For I wasH7065 3enviousH7065 of the 4arrogantH1984 As I sawH7200 the 5prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.4For thereH369 areH369 noH369 painsH2784 in their deathH4194, And their bellyH193 is fatH1277.5They are 6not 7in troubleH5999 like other peopleH582, NorH3808 are they 8tormentedH5060 togetherH5973 withH5973 the rest of mankindH120.6ThereforeH3651 arroganceH1346 is 9their necklaceH6059; The 10garmentH7897 of violenceH2555 coversH5848 them.7Their eyeH5869 11bulgesH3318 from 12fatnessH2459; The imaginationsH4906 of their heartH3824 overflowH5674.8They 13mockH4167 and 14wickedlyH7451 speakH1696 of oppressionH6233; They 15speakH1696 from on highH4791.9They have 16setH7896 their mouthH6310 17against the heavensH8064, And their tongueH3956 18paradesH1980 through the earthH776.
10ThereforeH3651 19his peopleH5971 returnH7725 hereH1988, And 20abundantH4392 watersH4325 are drunkH4680 by them.11They sayH559, “21HowH351 does GodH410 knowH3045? And isH3426 thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 22with the MostH5945 HighH5945?”12BeholdH2009, 23theseH428 are the wickedH7563; And alwaysH5769 24at easeH7961, they have increasedH7685 in wealthH2428.13SurelyH389 25in vainH7385 I have 26keptH2135 my heartH3824 pureH2135 And 27washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocenceH5356;14For I have been strickenH5060 28allH3605 dayH3117 long, And 2930punishedH8433 every morningH1242.
15IfH518 I had saidH559, “I will speakH5608 thisH3644 wayH3644,” BeholdH2009, I would have betrayedH898 the 31generationH1755 of Your childrenH1121.16When I 32thoughtH2803 of understandingH3045 thisH2088, It was 33troublesomeH5999 in my sightH586917UntilH5704 I enteredH935 the 3435sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; Then I perceivedH995 their 36endH319.18You indeedH389 putH7896 them on 37slipperyH2513 groundH2513; You droppedH5307 them into 3839ruinH4876.19HowH349 they are 4041destroyedH8047 in a momentH7281! They are utterlyH8552 sweptH5486 awayH5486 by 42suddenH1091 terrorsH1091!20Like a 43dreamH2472 whenH4480 one awakesH7019, LordH136, when 44stirredH5782, You will 45despiseH959 their imageH6754.
21WhenH3588 my 46heartH3824 wasH2556 embitteredH2556 And I was 47piercedH8150 48withinH3629,22Then I was 49stupidH1198 and ignorantH3808H3045; I was like an 50animalH929 51beforeH5973 You.
