I Envied the Prosperity of the Wicked |
||
| 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 |
