Psalms 73:12

Compare all

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.

15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

16 When I thought how to understand this,
It was¹ too painful for me—

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their ^aend.

18 Surely ^aYou set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.

19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.

21 Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was¹ vexed in my mind.

22 ^aI was so foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.

24 ^aYou will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.

25 ^aWhom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

26 ^aMy flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the¹ strength of my heart and my ^bportion forever.
