- A Psalm of Asaph.
- 2
- Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
- 3
- But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped.
- 4
- For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
- 5
- For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek.
- 6
- They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.
- 7
- Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment.
- 8
- Their eyes swell out through fatness; their hearts overflow with follies.
- 9
- They scoff and speak with malice; loftily they threaten oppression.
- 10
- They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongue struts through the earth.
- 11
- Therefore his people turn back to them, and find no fault in them.
- 12
- And they say, “How can God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
- 13
- Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.
- 14
- All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.
- 15
- For all the day long I have been stricken and rebuked every morning.
- 16
- If I had said, “I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
- 17
- But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,
- 18
- until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.
- 19
- Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin.
- 20
- How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
- 21
- Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
- 22
- When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart,
- 23
- I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.
- 24
- Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.
- 25
- You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.
- 26
- Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
- 27
- My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
- 28
- For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
