Psalms 73:2-14

2But as for meH589, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH369; my stepsH7272 had well nigh slippedH8210.

3For I was enviousH7065 at the arrogant, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.

4For there are noH369 bands in their deathH4194: but their strength is firm.

5They are notH3808 in troubleH5999 as otherH369 menH120; neitherH3808 are they plaguedH5060 like otherH369 menH120.

6Therefore prideH1346 is as a chain about their neck; violenceH2555 covereth them as a garmentH7897.

7Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have more thanH2459 heartH3824 could wish.

8They scoff, and in wickednessH7451 utterH1696 oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftily.

9They have setH1980 their mouthH6310 in the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walketh throughH1980 the earthH776.

10Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725 hither: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 by them.

11And they sayH559, HowH349 doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is there knowledgeH3045 in the Most High?

12BeholdH2009, theseH428 are the wickedH7563; and, being alway at easeH7961, they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.

13SurelyH389 in vain have I cleansedH2135 my heartH3824, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocency;

14For allH3605 the dayH3117 longH3117 have I been plaguedH5060, and chastened everyH3605 morningH1242.
