Psalms 73:1-8

73:1

<
<A Psalm <04210>

of Asaph
<0623>.>>

Truly God
<0430>

[is] good
<02896>

to Israel
<03478>_,

[even] to such as are of a clean
<01249>

heart
<03824>_.

{of: or, for} {Truly: or, Yet} {of...: Heb. clean of heart}

73:2

But as for me, my feet
<07272>

were almost
<04592>

gone
<05186> (8804) (8675) <05186> (8803)_;

my steps
<0838>

had well nigh
<0369>

slipped
<08210> (8795)_.

73:3

For I was envious
<07065> (8765)

at the foolish
<01984> (8802)_,

[when] I saw
<07200> (8799)

the prosperity
<07965>

of the wicked
<07563>_.

73:4

For [there are] no bands
<02784>

in their death
<04194>_:

but their strength
<0193>

[is] firm
<01277>_.

{firm: Heb. fat}

73:5

They [are] not in trouble
<05999>

[as other] men
<0582>_;

neither are they plagued
<05060> (8792)

like
<05973>

[other] men
<0120>_.

{in...: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}

73:6

Therefore pride
<01346>

compasseth them about as a chain
<06059> (8804)_;

violence
<02555>

covereth
<05848> (8799)

them [as] a garment
<07897>_.

73:7

Their eyes
<05869>

stand out
<03318> (8804)

with fatness
<02459>_:

they have more
<05674> (8804)

than heart
<03824>

could wish
<04906>_.

{have...: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}

73:8

They are corrupt
<04167> (8686)_,

and speak
<01696> (8762)

wickedly
<07451>

[concerning] oppression
<06233>_:

they speak
<01696> (8762)

loftily
<04791>_.
