| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart! |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Therefore his people return to this place, And waters of abundance are drunk by them. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11They say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?" |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Behold, these are the wicked; And always at ease, they have increased in wealth. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure And washed my hands in innocence; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For I have been stricken all day long And chastened every morning. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Until I came into the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. |
