1(73) A Psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to the upright in heart! 2But my feet were almost overthrown; my goings very nearly slipped. 3For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners. 4For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and [they have] firmness under their affliction. 5They are not in the troubles of [other] men; and they shall not be scourged with [other] men. 6Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness. 7Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention. 8They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily. 9They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth. 10Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them. 11And they said, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? 12Behold, these [are] the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth. 13And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency. 14For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof [was] every morning. 15If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I [should] have broken covenant with the generation of your children. 16And I undertook to understand this, [but] it is too hard for me, 17until I go into the sanctuary of God; [and so] understand the latter end. 18Surely you have appointed [judgments] to them because of their crafty dealings: you have cast them down when they were lifted up. 19How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity. 20As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in your city you will despise their image. 21For my heart has rejoiced, and my reins have been gladdened. 22But I [was] vile and knew not: I became brutish before you. 23Yet I am continually with you: you have holden my right hand. 24You have guided me by your counsel, and you have taken me to yourself with glory. 25For what have I in heaven [but you]? and what have I desired upon the earth beside you? 26My heart and my flesh have failed: [but] God [is the strength] of my heart, and God is my portion for ever. 27For, behold, they that remove themselves far from you shall perish: you have destroyed every one that goes a whoring from you. 28But it is good for me to cleave close to God, to put my trust in the Lord; that I may proclaim all your praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
