A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Truly GodH430 is goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, even to such as are of a cleanH1249 heartH3824. {of: or, for} {Truly: or, Yet} {of…: Heb. clean of heart}
But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186+H5186; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.
For I was enviousH7065 at the foolishH1984, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.
For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. {firm: Heb. fat}
They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060 likeH5973 other menH120. {in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059; violenceH2555 coverethH5848 them as a garmentH7897.
Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674 than heartH3824 could wishH4906. {have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corruptH4167, and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftilyH4791.
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725+H7725 hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to them.
And they sayH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945?
Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.
Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.
When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; {too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556, and I was prickedH8150 in my reinsH3629.
So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270 me by my rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt guideH5148 me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947 me to gloryH3519.
Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.
My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769. {strength: Heb. rock}
For, lo, they that are farH7369 from thee shall perishH6: thou hast destroyedH6789 all them that go a whoringH2181 from thee.
ButH589 it is goodH2896 for me to draw nearH7132 to GodH430: I have putH7896 my trustH4268 in the LordH136 GODH3069, that I may declareH5608 all thy worksH4399.

And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091; beside ornamentsH7720, and collarsH5188, and purpleH713 raimentH899 that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and beside the chainsH6060 that were about their camels'H1581 necksH6677. {collars: or, sweet jewels}

Thou hast ravished my heartH3823, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; thou hast ravished my heartH3823 with oneH259 of thine eyesH5869, with oneH259 chainH6060 of thy neckH6677. {ravished: or, taken away}
WoeH1945 to them that deviseH2803 iniquityH205, and workH6466 evilH7451 upon their bedsH4904! when the morningH1242 is lightH216, they practiseH6213 it, because it isH3426 in the powerH410 of their handH3027.
LikewiseG3668, ye youngerG3501, submit yourselvesG5293 unto the elderG4245. YeaG1161, allG3956 of you be subjectG5293 one to anotherG240, and be clothedG1463 with humilityG5012: forG3754 GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, andG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 to the humbleG5011.

And he thoughtH5869 scornH959 to layH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 alone; for they had shewedH5046 him the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782: wherefore HamanH2001 soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 all the JewsH3064 that were throughout the whole kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325, even the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782.

Then wentH3318 HamanH2001 forthH3318 that dayH3117 joyfulH8056 and with a gladH2896 heartH3820: but when HamanH2001 sawH7200 MordecaiH4782 in the king'sH4428 gateH8179, that he stood not upH6965, nor movedH2111 for him, heH2001 was fullH4390 of indignationH2534 against MordecaiH4782.

Behold, thou art wiserH2450 than DanielH1840; there is no secretH5640 that they can hideH6004 from thee:
With thy wisdomH2451 and with thine understandingH8394 thou hast gottenH6213 thee richesH2428, and hast gottenH6213 goldH2091 and silverH3701 into thy treasuresH214:
