Psalm 73
A
Psalm
of
Asaph.
Truly
God
is
good
to
Israel,
even
to
such
as
are
of
a
clean
heart.
2
But
as
for
me,
my
feet
were
almost
gone;
my
steps
had
well
nigh
slipped.
3
For
I
was
envious
at
the
foolish,
when
I
saw
the
prosperity
of
the
wicked.
4
For
there
are
no
bands
in
their
death:
but
their
strength
is
firm.
5
They
are
not
in
trouble
as
other
men;
neither
are
they
plagued
like
other
men.
6
Therefore
pride
compasseth
them
about
as
a
chain;
violence
covereth
them
as
a
garment.
7
Their
eyes
stand
out
with
fatness:
they
have
more
than
heart
could
wish.
8
They
are
corrupt,
and
speak
wickedly
concerning
oppression:
they
speak
loftily.
9
They
set
their
mouth
against
the
heavens,
and
their
tongue
walketh
through
the
earth.
10
Therefore
his
people
return
hither:
and
waters
of
a
full
cup
are
wrung
out
to
them.
11
And
they
say,
How
doth
God
know?
and
is
there
knowledge
in
the
most
High?
12
Behold,
these
are
the
ungodly,
who
prosper
in
the
world;
they
increase
in
riches.
13
Verily
I
have
cleansed
my
heart
in
vain,
and
washed
my
hands
in
innocency.
14
For
all
the
day
long
have
I
been
plagued,
and
chastened
every
morning.
15
If
I
say,
I
will
speak
thus;
behold,
I
should
offend
against
the
generation
of
thy
children.
16
When
I
thought
to
know
this,
it
was
too
painful
for
me;
17
Until
I
went
into
the
sanctuary
of
God;
then
understood
I
their
end.
18
Surely
thou
didst
set
them
in
slippery
places:
thou
castedst
them
down
into
destruction.
19
How
are
they
brought
into
desolation,
as
in
a
moment!
they
are
utterly
consumed
with
terrors.
20
As
a
dream
when
one
awaketh;
so,
O
Lord,
when
thou
awakest,
thou
shalt
despise
their
image.
21
Thus
my
heart
was
grieved,
and
I
was
pricked
in
my
reins.
22
So
foolish
was
I,
and
ignorant:
I
was
as
a
beast
before
thee.
23
Nevertheless
I
am
continually
with
thee:
thou
hast
holden
me
by
my
right
hand.
24
Thou
shalt
guide
me
with
thy
counsel,
and
afterward
receive
me
to
glory.
25
Whom
have
I
in
heaven
but
thee?
and
there
is
none
upon
earth
that
I
desire
beside
thee.
26
My
flesh
and
my
heart
faileth:
but
God
is
the
strength
of
my
heart,
and
my
portion
for
ever.
27
For,
lo,
they
that
are
far
from
thee
shall
perish:
thou
hast
destroyed
all
them
that
go
a
whoring
from
thee.
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.
