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?”
