ASV_Strong : Psalms 73
1.
2. But as for me[H7272], my feet were almost[H4592] gone[H5186]; My steps[H838] had well nigh[H369] slipped[H8210].
3. For I was envious[H7065] at the arrogant[H1984], When I saw[H7200] the prosperity[H7965] of the wicked[H7563].
4. For there are no pangs[H2784] in their death[H4194]; But their strength[H193] is firm[H1277].
5. They are not in trouble[H5999] as other men[H582]; Neither are they plagued[H5060] like[H5973] other men[H120].
6. Therefore pride[H1346] is as a chain[H6059] about their neck[H2555]; Violence covereth[H5848] them as a garment[H7897].
7. Their eyes[H5869] stand out[H3318] with fatness[H2459]: They have more[H5674] than heart[H3824] could wish[H4906].
8. They scoff[H4167], and in wickedness[H7451] utter[H1696] oppression[H6233]: They speak[H1696] loftily[H4791].
9. They have set[H8371] their mouth[H6310] in the heavens[H8064], And their tongue[H3956] walketh[H1980] through the earth[H776].
10. Therefore his people[H5971] return[H7725] hither[H1988]: And waters[H4325] of a full[H4392] cup are drained by them[H4680].
11. And they say[H559], How doth God[H410] know[H3045]? And is there[H3426] knowledge[H1844] in the Most High[H5945]?
12. Behold[H7563], these are the wicked; And[H5769], being alway at ease[H7961], they increase[H7685] in riches[H2428].
13. Surely in vain[H7385] have I cleansed[H2135] my heart[H3824], And washed[H7364] my hands[H3709] in innocency[H5356];
14. For all the day[H3117] long have I been plagued[H5060], And chastened[H8433] every morning[H1242].
15. If I had said[H559], I will speak[H559] thus[H3644]; Behold[H898], I had dealt treacherously with the generation[H1755] of thy children[H1121].
16. When I thought[H2803] how I might know[H3045] this[H5999], It was too painful for me[H5869];
17. Until I went[H935] into the sanctuary[H4720] of God[H410], And considered[H995] their latter end[H319].
18. Surely thou settest[H7896] them in slippery places[H2513]: Thou castest them down[H5307] to destruction[H4876].
19. How are they become a desolation[H8047] in a moment[H7281]! They are utterly[H5486] consumed[H8552] with terrors[H1091].
20. As a dream[H2472] when one awaketh[H6974], So[H136], O Lord, when thou awakest[H5782], thou wilt despise[H959] their image[H6754].
21. For my soul[H3824] was grieved[H2556], And I was pricked[H8150] in my heart[H3629]:
22. So brutish[H1198] was I[H3045], and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee[H929].
23. Nevertheless I am continually[H8548] with thee[H270]: Thou hast holden my right[H3225] hand[H3027].
24. Thou wilt guide[H5148] me with thy counsel[H6098], And afterward[H310] receive[H3947] me to glory[H3519].
25. Whom have I in heaven[H8064] but thee[H776]? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee[H2654].
26. My flesh[H7607] and my heart[H3824] faileth[H3615]; But God[H430] is the strength[H6697] of my heart[H3824] and my portion[H2506] for ever[H5769].
27. For[H7369], lo, they that are far from thee shall perish[H6]: Thou hast destroyed[H6789] all them that play the harlot[H2181], departing from thee.
28. But[H589] it is good[H2896] for me to draw near[H7132] unto God[H430]: I have made[H7896] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136] my refuge[H4268], That I may tell[H5608] of all thy works[H4399].
