Psalms 73:3-28

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>_.

73:9

They set
<08371> (8804)

their mouth
<06310>

against the heavens
<08064>_,

and their tongue
<03956>

walketh
<01980> (8799)

through the earth
<0776>_.

73:10

Therefore his people
<05971>

return
<07725> (8799) (8675) <07725> (8686)

hither
<01988>_:

and waters
<04325>

of a full
<04392>

[cup] are wrung out
<04680> (8735)

to them.

73:11

And they say
<0559> (8804)_,

How doth God
<0410>

know
<03045> (8804)_?

and is there
<03426>

knowledge
<01844>

in the most High
<05945>_?

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>_.

73:20

As a dream
<02472>

when [one] awaketh
<06974> (8687)_;

[so], O Lord
<0136>_,

when thou awakest
<05782>_,

thou shalt despise
<0959> (8799)

their image
<06754>_.

73:21

Thus my heart
<03824>

was grieved
<02556> (8691)_,

and I was pricked
<08150> (8709)

in my reins
<03629>_.

73:22

So foolish
<01198>

[was] I, and ignorant
<03045> (8799)_:

I was [as] a beast
<0929>

before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}

73:23

Nevertheless I [am] continually
<08548>

with thee: thou hast holden
<0270> (8804)

[me] by my right
<03225>

hand
<03027>_.

73:24

Thou shalt guide
<05148> (8686)

me with thy counsel
<06098>_,

and afterward
<0310>

receive
<03947> (8799)

me [to] glory
<03519>_.

73:25

Whom have I in heaven
<08064>

[but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth
<0776>

[that] I desire
<02654> (8804)

beside thee.

73:26

My flesh
<07607>

and my heart
<03824>

faileth
<03615> (8804)_:

[but] God
<0430>

[is] the strength
<06697>

of my heart
<03824>_,

and my portion
<02506>

for ever
<05769>_.

{strength: Heb. rock}

73:27

For, lo, they that are far
<07369>

from thee shall perish
<06> (8799)_:

thou hast destroyed
<06789> (8689)

all them that go a whoring
<02181> (8802)

from thee.

73:28

But
<0589>

[it is] good
<02896>

for me to draw near
<07132>

to God
<0430>_:

I have put
<07896> (8804)

my trust
<04268>

in the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

that I may declare
<05608> (8763)

all thy works
<04399>_.
