Psalms 73
73:1

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

73:2

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

73:3

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

73:4

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

73:5

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

73:6

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

73:7

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

73:8

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

73:9

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

73:10

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

73:11

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

73:12

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

73:13

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

73:14

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

73:15

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

73:16

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

73:17

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

73:18

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

73:19

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

73:20

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

73:21

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

73:22

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

73:23

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

73:24

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

73:25

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

73:26

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

73:27

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

73:28

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
