Psalms 73:2-26

But as for me, my feet
<07272>
were almost
<04592>
gone
<05186> (8804) (8675) <05186> (8803)_;
my steps
<0838>
had well nigh
<0369>
slipped
<08210> (8795)_.
For I was envious
<07065> (8765)
at the foolish
<01984> (8802)_,
[when] I saw
<07200> (8799)
the prosperity
<07965>
of the wicked
<07563>_.
For [there are] no bands
<02784>
in their death
<04194>_:
but their strength
<0193>
[is] firm
<01277>_.
{firm: Heb. fat}
They [are] not in trouble
<05999>
[as other] men
<0582>_;
neither are they plagued
<05060> (8792)
like
<05973>
[other] men
<0120>_.
{in...: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore pride
<01346>
compasseth them about as a chain
<06059> (8804)_;
violence
<02555>
covereth
<05848> (8799)
them [as] a garment
<07897>_.
Their eyes
<05869>
stand out
<03318> (8804)
with fatness
<02459>_:
they have more
<05674> (8804)
than heart
<03824>
could wish
<04906>_.
{have...: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corrupt
<04167> (8686)_,
and speak
<01696> (8762)
wickedly
<07451>
[concerning] oppression
<06233>_:
they speak
<01696> (8762)
loftily
<04791>_.
They set
<08371> (8804)
their mouth
<06310>
against the heavens
<08064>_,
and their tongue
<03956>
walketh
<01980> (8799)
through the earth
<0776>_.
Therefore his people
<05971>
return
<07725> (8799) (8675) <07725> (8686)
hither
<01988>_:
and waters
<04325>
of a full
<04392>
[cup] are wrung out
<04680> (8735)
to them.
And they say
<0559> (8804)_,
How doth God
<0410>
know
<03045> (8804)_?
and is there
<03426>
knowledge
<01844>
in the most High
<05945>_?
Behold, these [are] the ungodly
<07563>_,
who prosper
<07961>
in the world
<05769>_;
they increase
<07685> (8689)
[in] riches
<02428>_.
Verily I have cleansed
<02135> (8765)
my heart
<03824>
[in] vain
<07385>_,
and washed
<07364> (8799)
my hands
<03709>
in innocency
<05356>_.
For all the day
<03117>
long have I been plagued
<05060> (8803)_,
and chastened
<08433>
every morning
<01242>_.
{chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I say
<0559> (8804)_,
I will speak
<05608> (8762)
thus
<03644>_;
behold, I should offend
<0898> (8804)
[against] the generation
<01755>
of thy children
<01121>_.
When I thought
<02803> (8762)
to know
<03045> (8800)
this, it [was] too painful
<05999>
for me
<05869>_;
{too...: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Until I went
<0935> (8799)
into the sanctuary
<04720>
of God
<0410>_;
[then] understood
<0995> (8799)
I their end
<0319>_.
Surely thou didst set
<07896> (8799)
them in slippery places
<02513>_:
thou castedst them down
<05307> (8689)
into destruction
<04876>_.
How are they [brought] into desolation
<08047>_,
as in a moment
<07281>_!
they are utterly
<05486> (8804)
consumed
<08552> (8804)
with terrors
<01091>_.
As a dream
<02472>
when [one] awaketh
<06974> (8687)_;
[so], O Lord
<0136>_,
when thou awakest
<05782>_,
thou shalt despise
<0959> (8799)
their image
<06754>_.
Thus my heart
<03824>
was grieved
<02556> (8691)_,
and I was pricked
<08150> (8709)
in my reins
<03629>_.
So foolish
<01198>
[was] I, and ignorant
<03045> (8799)_:
I was [as] a beast
<0929>
before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
Nevertheless I [am] continually
<08548>
with thee: thou hast holden
<0270> (8804)
[me] by my right
<03225>
hand
<03027>_.
Thou shalt guide
<05148> (8686)
me with thy counsel
<06098>_,
and afterward
<0310>
receive
<03947> (8799)
me [to] glory
<03519>_.
Whom have I in heaven
<08064>
[but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth
<0776>
[that] I desire
<02654> (8804)
beside thee.
My flesh
<07607>
and my heart
<03824>
faileth
<03615> (8804)_:
[but] God
<0430>
[is] the strength
<06697>
of my heart
<03824>_,
and my portion
<02506>
for ever
<05769>_.
{strength: Heb. rock}
