Truly Elohim⁴³⁰ is good²⁸⁹⁶ to Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ even to such as are of a clean¹²⁴⁹ heart.³⁸²⁴

But as for me, my feet⁷²⁷² were almost⁴⁵⁹² gone;⁵¹⁸⁶ my steps⁸³⁸ had well nigh³⁶⁹ slipped.⁸²¹⁰

For I was envious⁷⁰⁶⁵ at the foolish,¹⁹⁸⁴ when I saw⁷²⁰⁰ the prosperity⁷⁹⁶⁵ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

For there are no bands²⁷⁸⁴ in their death:⁴¹⁹⁴ but their strength¹⁹³ is firm.¹²⁷⁷

They are not in trouble⁵⁹⁹⁹ as other men;⁵⁸² neither are they plagued⁵⁰⁶⁰ like⁵⁹⁷³ other men.¹²⁰

Therefore pride¹³⁴⁶ compasseth them about as a chain;⁶⁰⁵⁹ violence²⁵⁵⁵ covereth⁵⁸⁴⁸ them as a garment.⁷⁸⁹⁷

Their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ stand out³³¹⁸ with fatness:²⁴⁵⁹ they have more⁵⁶⁷⁴ than heart³⁸²⁴ could wish.⁴⁹⁰⁶

They are corrupt,⁴¹⁶⁷ and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ wickedly⁷⁴⁵¹ concerning oppression:⁶²³³ they speak¹⁶⁹⁶ loftily.⁴⁷⁹¹

They set⁸³⁷¹ their mouth⁶³¹⁰ against the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and their tongue³⁹⁵⁶ walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ through the earth.⁷⁷⁶

Therefore his people⁵⁹⁷¹ return⁷⁷²⁵ hither:¹⁹⁸⁸ and waters⁴³²⁵ of a full⁴³⁹² cup are wrung out⁴⁶⁸⁰ to them.

And they say,⁵⁵⁹ How doth El⁴¹⁰ know?³⁰⁴⁵ and is there³⁴²⁶ knowledge¹⁸⁴⁴ in the most High?⁵⁹⁴⁵

Behold, these are the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ who prosper⁷⁹⁶¹ in the world;⁵⁷⁶⁹ they increase⁷⁶⁸⁵ in riches.²⁴²⁸

Verily I have cleansed²¹³⁵ my heart³⁸²⁴ in vain,⁷³⁸⁵ and washed⁷³⁶⁴ my hands³⁷⁰⁹ in innocency.⁵³⁵⁶

For all the day³¹¹⁷ long have I been plagued,⁵⁰⁶⁰ and chastened⁸⁴³³ every morning.¹²⁴²

If I say,⁵⁵⁹ I will speak⁵⁶⁰⁸ thus;³⁶⁴⁴ behold, I should offend⁸⁹⁸ against the generation¹⁷⁵⁵ of thy children.¹¹²¹

When I thought²⁸⁰³ to know³⁰⁴⁵ this, it was too painful⁵⁹⁹⁹ for me;⁵⁸⁶⁹

Until I went⁹³⁵ into the sanctuary⁴⁷²⁰ of El;⁴¹⁰ then understood⁹⁹⁵ I their end.³¹⁹

Surely thou didst set⁷⁸⁹⁶ them in slippery places:²⁵¹³ thou castedst them down⁵³⁰⁷ into destruction.⁴⁸⁷⁶

How are they brought into desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ as in a moment!⁷²⁸¹ they are utterly⁵⁴⁸⁶ consumed⁸⁵⁵² with terrors.¹⁰⁹¹

As a dream²⁴⁷² when one awaketh;⁶⁹⁷⁴ so, O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ when thou awakest,⁵⁷⁸² thou shalt despise⁹⁵⁹ their image.⁶⁷⁵⁴

Thus my heart³⁸²⁴ was grieved,²⁵⁵⁶ and I was pricked⁸¹⁵⁰ in my reins.³⁶²⁹

So foolish¹¹⁹⁸ was I, and ignorant:³⁸⁰⁸ I was as a beast⁹²⁹ before thee.

Nevertheless I am continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ with thee: thou hast holden²⁷⁰ me by my right³²²⁵ hand.³⁰²⁷

Thou shalt guide⁵¹⁴⁸ me with thy counsel,⁶⁰⁹⁸ and afterward³¹⁰ receive³⁹⁴⁷ me to glory.³⁵¹⁹

Whom have I in heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ but thee? and there is none upon earth⁷⁷⁶ that I desire²⁶⁵⁴ beside thee.

My flesh⁷⁶⁰⁷ and my heart³⁸²⁴ faileth:³⁶¹⁵ but Elohim⁴³⁰ is the strength⁶⁶⁹⁷ of my heart,³⁸²⁴ and my portion²⁵⁰⁶ for ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

For, lo, they that are far⁷³⁶⁹ from thee shall perish:⁶ thou hast destroyed⁶⁷⁸⁹ all them that go a whoring²¹⁸¹ from thee.

But⁵⁸⁹ it is good²⁸⁹⁶ for me to draw near⁷¹³² to Elohim:⁴³⁰ I have put⁷⁸⁹⁶ my trust⁴²⁶⁸ in my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁹ that I may declare⁵⁶⁰⁸ all thy works.⁴³⁹⁹
