Psa.|73:Title|-|A |a|Psalm of Asaph
Psa.|73:1|-||1|Surely God is good to Israel,To those who are |2a|pure in heart.
Psa.|73:2|-|But as for me, my feet were nearly |1|turned aside;My steps had almost slipped.
Psa.|73:3|-|For I was envious of the arrogant,When I saw the |a|prosperity of the wicked.
Psa.|73:4|-|For they have no pangs in their death,And their body is well nourished.
Psa.|73:5|-|They do not find themselves in the hardship of men,Nor are they plagued like other men.
Psa.|73:6|-|Therefore pride is a necklace for them,Violence covers them like a garment.
Psa.|73:7|-|Their eyes bulge out from fatness;The imaginations of their heart overflow.
Psa.|73:8|-|They mock and wickedly speak of oppression;They speak loftily.
Psa.|73:9|-|They set their mouth against the heavens,And their |a|tongue walks about on the earth.
Psa.|73:10|-|Therefore His people return here,And waters of abundance are drained by them;
Psa.|73:11|-|And they say, How does God know?And is there knowledge with the Most High?
Psa.|73:12|-|Behold, these are the wicked;And always at ease, they |a|heap up riches.
Psa.|73:13|-|Surely I have purified my heart in |1|vain,And I have |a|washed my hands in innocence.
Psa.|73:14|-|For I have been plagued all day longAnd chastened every morning.
Psa.|73:15|-|If I had said, I will speak thus;Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
Psa.|73:16|-|When I considered this in order to understand it,It was a troublesome task in my sight,
Psa.|73:17|-|Until I went into the |1a|sanctuary of God;Then I perceived their end.
Psa.|73:18|-|Surely You set them in slippery places;You cast them down into ruins.
Psa.|73:19|-|How they are made desolate in a moment!They are utterly consumed by terrors.
Psa.|73:20|-|Like a dream, when one awakes, You, O Lord,Upon arising, will despise their image.
Psa.|73:21|-|When my heart was embittered,And inwardly I was pricked;
Psa.|73:22|-|I was brutish and knew nothing;I was like a |a|beast before You.
Psa.|73:23|-|Nevertheless I am continually |a|with You;You have taken hold of my |b|right hand.
Psa.|73:24|-|You will guide me with Your counsel,And afterward You will receive me in |a|glory.
Psa.|73:25|-||1|Whom do I have in heaven but You?And besides You there is nothing I |a|desire on earth.
Psa.|73:26|-|My flesh and my heart fail,But God is the |a|rock of my heart and my |1b|portion forever.
Psa.|73:27|-|For behold, those who are far from You will perish;You destroy all who go about as harlots away from You.
Psa.|73:28|-|But as for me, |a|drawing near to God is good for me;I have made the Lord Jehovah my |b|refuge,
That I may declare all Your works.
