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 no1 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. 
7 aTheir1 eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish. 
8 aThey scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
They bspeak loftily. 
9 They set their mouth aagainst the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth. 
10 Therefore his people return here,
aAnd waters of a full cup are drained by them. 
11 And they say, a“How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?” 
12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.
13 Surely I have1 cleansed my heart in avain,
And washed my hands in innocence. 
14 For all day long I have been plagued,
And chastened every morning.
