\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\c 73
|
|
|
|
|
\d A psalm of Asaph.
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 Surely God is good to Israel,
|
|
|
|
|
\q to those with a pure heart.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
|
|
|
|
|
\q my feet almost slipped out from under me
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 because I was envious of the arrogant
|
|
|
|
|
\q when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 For they have no pain until their death,
|
|
|
|
|
\q but they are strong and well fed.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 They are free from the burdens of other men;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they are not afflicted like other men.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 Pride adorns them like a necklace around their neck;
|
|
|
|
|
\q violence clothes them like a robe.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 Out of such blindness comes sin;
|
|
|
|
|
\q evil thoughts pass through their hearts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 They mockingly say evil things;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they proudly threaten violence.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 They speak against the heavens,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and their tongues roam through the earth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 Therefore God's people turn to them
|
|
|
|
|
\q and drink deeply at their words.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 They say, "How does God know?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Does God know what goes on?"
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 Take notice: these people are wicked;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they are always carefree, becoming richer and richer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 Surely it is in vain that I have guarded my heart
|
|
|
|
|
\q and washed my hands in innocence.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 For all the day long have I been afflicted
|
|
|
|
|
\q and disciplined every morning.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 If I had said, "I will say these things,"
|
|
|
|
|
\q then I would have betrayed this generation of your children.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 Though I tried to understand these things,
|
|
|
|
|
\q it was too difficult for me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 Then I went into God's sanctuary
|
|
|
|
|
\q and came to understand their fate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 18 Surely you put them in slippery places;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you bring them down to ruin.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 19 How they become a wilderness in a moment!
|
|
|
|
|
\q They come to an end and are finished in awful terrors.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 20 They are like a dream after one wakes up;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 Lord, when you arise, you will think nothing of those dreams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 21 For my heart was grieved,
|
|
|
|
|
\q and I was deeply wounded.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 22 I was ignorant and lacked insight;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I was like a senseless animal before you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 23 Yet I am always with you;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you hold my right hand.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 24 You will guide me with your advice
|
|
|
|
|
\q and afterward receive me to glory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
|
|
|
|
|
\q There is no one on earth that I desire but you.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 26 My flesh and my heart grow weak,
|
|
|
|
|
\q but God is the strength of my heart forever.

|

|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 27 Those who are far from you will perish;
|
|
|
|
|
\q you will destroy all those who are unfaithful
|
|
|
|
|
to you.

\v 28 But as for me, all I need to do is to approach God.

\q I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge.
|
|
|
|

\q I will declare all your deeds.
