Psalms 73:12-19

73:12

Behold, these [are] the ungodly
<07563>_,

who prosper
<07961>

in the world
<05769>_;

they increase
<07685> (8689)

[in] riches
<02428>_.

73:13

Verily I have cleansed
<02135> (8765)

my heart
<03824>

[in] vain
<07385>_,

and washed
<07364> (8799)

my hands
<03709>

in innocency
<05356>_.

73:14

For all the day
<03117>

long have I been plagued
<05060> (8803)_,

and chastened
<08433>

every morning
<01242>_.

{chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}

73:15

If I say
<0559> (8804)_,

I will speak
<05608> (8762)

thus
<03644>_;

behold, I should offend
<0898> (8804)

[against] the generation
<01755>

of thy children
<01121>_.

73:16

When I thought
<02803> (8762)

to know
<03045> (8800)

this, it [was] too painful
<05999>

for me
<05869>_;

{too...: Heb. labour in mine eyes}

73:17

Until I went
<0935> (8799)

into the sanctuary
<04720>

of God
<0410>_;

[then] understood
<0995> (8799)

I their end
<0319>_.

73:18

Surely thou didst set
<07896> (8799)

them in slippery places
<02513>_:

thou castedst them down
<05307> (8689)

into destruction
<04876>_.

73:19

How are they [brought] into desolation
<08047>_,

as in a moment
<07281>_!

they are utterly
<05486> (8804)

consumed
<08552> (8804)

with terrors
<01091>_.
