Psalms 73:1-11

1. 1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

2. 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3. 3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4. 4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

5. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

6. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

7. 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

8. 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

9. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10. 10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11. 11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
