| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1God is indeed good to Israel, to those pure in heart. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Now as for me, my feet nearly stumbled, as I almost lost my step. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I was envious of the proud when I observed the prosperity of the wicked. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For there is no struggle at their deaths, and their bodies are healthy. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They do not experience problems common to ordinary people; they aren't afflicted as others are. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore pride is their necklace and violence covers them like a garment. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Their eyes bulge from obesity and the imaginations of their mind cross the border into sin. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8In their mockery they speak evil; from their arrogant position they speak oppression. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They choose to speak against heaven; while they talk about things on earth. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Therefore God's people return there and drink it all in like water until they're satiated. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then they say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?" |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Just look at these wicked people! They're perpetually carefree as they increase their wealth. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13I kept my heart pure for nothing and kept my hands clean from guilt. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For I suffer all day long and I am punished every morning. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If I say, "I will talk like this," I would betray a generation of your children. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16When I tried to understand this, it was too difficult for me |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17until I entered the sanctuaries of God. Then I understood their destiny. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18You have certainly set them in slippery places; you will make them fall to their ruin. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19How desolate they quickly become, completely destroyed by calamities. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Like a dream when one awakens, Lord, you will despise their image when you arise. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21When I chose to be bitter I was emotionally pained. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then, I was too stupid and didn't realize I was acting like a wild animal with you. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23But now I am always with you, for you keep holding my right hand. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24You will guide me with your wise advice, and later you will receive me with honor. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Whom do I have in heaven but you? I desire nothing on this earth. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Those far from you will perish; you will destroy those who are unfaithful to you. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28As for me, how good for me it is that God is near! I have made the Lord GOD my refuge so I can tell about all your deeds. |
