1A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God^H430 is good^H2896 to Israel^H3478, Even to such as are pure^H1249 in heart^H3824. 2But as for me, my feet^H7272 were almost^H4592 gone^H5186; My steps^H838 had well nigh^H369 slipped^H8210. 3For I was envious^H7065 at the arrogant^H1984, When I saw^H7200 the prosperity^H7965 of the wicked^H7563. 4For there are no pangs^H2784 in their death^H4194; But their strength^H193 is firm^H1277. 5They are not in trouble^H5999 as other men^H582; Neither are they plagued^H5060 like^H5973 other men^H120. 6Therefore pride^H1346 is as a chain^H6059 about their neck; Violence^H2555 covereth^H5848 them as a garment^H7897. 7Their eyes^H5869 stand out^H3318 with fatness^H2459: They have more^H5674 than heart^H3824 could wish^H4906. 8They scoff^H4167, and in wickedness^H7451 utter^H1696 oppression^H6233: They speak^H1696 loftily^H4791. 9They have set^H8371 their mouth^H6310 in the heavens^H8064, And their tongue^H3956 walketh^H1980 through the earth^H776. 10Therefore his people^H5971 return^H7725 hither^H1988: And waters^H4325 of a full^H4392 cup are drained^H4680 by them. 11And they say^H559, How doth God^H410 know^H3045? And is there^H3426 knowledge^H1844 in the Most High^H5945? 12Behold, these are the wicked^H7563; And, being alway^H5769 at ease^H7961, they increase^H7685 in riches^H2428. 13Surely in vain^H7385 have I cleansed^H2135 my heart^H3824, And washed^H7364 my hands^H3709 in innocency^H5356; 14For all the day^H3117 long have I been plagued^H5060, And chastened^H8433 every morning^H1242. 15If I had said^H559, I will speak^H559 thus^H3644; Behold, I had dealt treacherously^H898 with the generation^H1755 of thy children^H1121. 16When I thought^H2803 how I might know^H3045 this, It was too painful^H5999 for me^H5869; 17Until I went^H935 into the sanctuary^H4720 of God^H410, And considered^H995 their latter end^H319. 18Surely thou settest^H7896 them in slippery places^H2513: Thou castest them down^H5307 to destruction^H4876. 19How are they become a desolation^H8047 in a moment^H7281! They are utterly^H5486 consumed^H8552 with terrors^H1091. 20As a dream^H2472 when one awaketh^H6974, So, O Lord^H136, when thou awakest^H5782, thou wilt despise^H959 their image^H6754. 21For my soul^H3824 was grieved^H2556, And I was pricked^H8150 in my heart^H3629: 22So brutish^H1198 was I, and ignorant^H3045; I was as a beast^H929 before thee. 23Nevertheless I am continually^H8548 with thee: Thou hast holden^H270 my right^H3225 hand^H3027. 24Thou wilt guide^H5148 me with thy counsel^H6098, And afterward^H310 receive^H3947 me to glory^H3519. 25Whom have I in heaven^H8064 but thee? And there is none upon earth^H776 that I desire^H2654 besides thee. 26My flesh^H7607 and my heart^H3824 faileth^H3615; But God^H430 is the strength^H6697 of my heart^H3824 and my portion^H2506 for ever^H5769. 27For, lo, they that are far^H7369 from thee shall perish^H6: Thou hast destroyed^H6789 all them that play the harlot^H2181, departing from thee. 28But^H589 it is good^H2896 for me to draw near^H7132 unto God^H430: I have made^H7896 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H136 my refuge^H4268, That I may tell^H5608 of all thy works^H4399.
