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.
