BOOK 3
PSALM 73
The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Surely God is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!
2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps [fn]had almost slipped.
3 For I was envious of the [fn]arrogant
As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no pains in their death,
And their [fn]body is fat.
5 They are not [fn]in trouble as other [fn]men,
Nor are they plagued [fn]like mankind.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
The garment of violence covers them.
7 Their eye [fn]bulges from fatness;
The imaginations of their heart [fn]run riot.
8 They mock and [fn]wickedly speak of oppression;
They speak from on high.
9 They have set their mouth [fn]against the heavens,
And their tongue [fn]parades through the earth.
10 Therefore [fn]his people return to this place,
And waters of abundance are [fn]drunk by them.
11 They say, “How does God know?
And is there knowledge [fn]with the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
And always at ease, they have increased in wealth.
13 Surely in vain I have [fn]kept my heart pure
And washed my hands in innocence;
14 For I have been stricken all day long
And [fn]chastened every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.
16 When I pondered to understand this,
It was [fn]troublesome in my sight
17 Until I came into the [fn]sanctuary of God;
Then I perceived their end.
18 Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to [fn]destruction.
19 How they are [fn]destroyed in a moment!
They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!
20 Like a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their [fn]form.
21 When my heart was embittered
And I was pierced [fn]within,
22 Then I was senseless and ignorant;
I was like [fn]a beast [fn]before You.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.
24 With Your counsel You will guide me,
And afterward receive me [fn]to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
And [fn]besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the [fn]strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have [fn]destroyed all those who [fn]are unfaithful to You.
28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord [fn]GOD my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.
