| 73:1 |
Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.
|
| 73:2 |
But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping;
|
| 73:3 |
Because of my envy of the men of pride, when I saw the well-being of the wrongdoers.
|
| 73:4 |
For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong.
|
| 73:5 |
They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.
|
| 73:6 |
For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.
|
| 73:7 |
Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire.
|
| 73:8 |
Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.
|
| 73:9 |
Their mouth goes up to heaven; their tongues go walking through the earth.
|
| 73:10 |
For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them.
|
| 73:11 |
And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?
|
| 73:12 |
Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.
|
| 73:13 |
As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;
|
| 73:14 |
For I have been troubled all the day; every morning have I undergone punishment.
|
| 73:15 |
If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.
|
| 73:16 |
When my thoughts were turned to see the reason of this, it was a weariness in my eyes;
|
| 73:17 |
Till I went into God's holy place, and saw the end of the evil-doers.
|
| 73:18 |
You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.
|
| 73:19 |
How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.
|
| 73:20 |
As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.
|
| 73:21 |
My heart was made bitter, and I was pained by the bite of grief:
|
| 73:22 |
As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.
|
| 73:23 |
But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.
|
| 73:24 |
Your wisdom will be my guide, and later you will put me in a place of honour.
|
| 73:25 |
Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.
|
| 73:26 |
My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.
|
| 73:27 |
For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you.
|
| 73:28 |
But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.
