BOOK THREE: Psalms 73—89 The Tragedy of the Wicked, and the Blessedness of Trust in God
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Truly God
is good to Israel,
To such as are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly
aslipped.
3 aFor I
was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the
bwicked.
4 For
there are no
1 pangs in their death,
But their strength
is firm.
5 aThey
are not in trouble
as other men,
Nor are they plagued like
other men.
6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them
alike a garment.
