A Psalm of Asaph.
1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such
as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh
slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of
the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is
firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they
plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth
them as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could
wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:
they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh
through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup
are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most
High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands
in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against
the generation of thy children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I
their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them
down into destruction.
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou
awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my
reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before
thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me
by my right hand.
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to
glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon
earth that I desire beside thee.
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength
of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust
in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
