A Psalm of Asaph.

Asaph
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

H · G · S  
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

H · G · S  
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

H · G · S  
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

H · G · S  
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

H · G · S  
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

H · G · S  
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

H · G · S  
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

H · G · S  
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

H · G · S  
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

H · G · S  
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

H · G · S  
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

H · G · S  
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

H · G · S  
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

H · G · S  
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

H · G · S  
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

H · G · S  too painful for me
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

H · G · S  sanctuary of God
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

H · G · S  
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

H · G · S  
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

H · G · S  when thou awakest despise their image
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

H · G · S  
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

H · G · S  
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

H · G · S  
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

H · G · S  
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

H · G · S  
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

H · G · S  
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

H · G · S  
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.

H · G · S
