73:1  Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
73:2  But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
73:4  For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
73:5  They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
73:7  Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
73:8  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
73:9  They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
73:10  Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
73:11  And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
73:12  Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
73:13  Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
73:14  For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
73:15  If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
73:16  When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
73:17  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
73:18  Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
73:19  How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
73:20  As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
73:21  Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
73:22  So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
73:23  Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
73:25  Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
73:26  My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
73:27  For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
73:28  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
