* 1 Truly God ''is'' good to Israel, ''even'' to such as are of a clean heart.
 +
 +
* 2 But as for me, my feet had almost gone; my steps had nearly slipped.
 +
 +
* 3 Because, I was envious of the foolish, ''when'' I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
 +
 +
* 4 Because, ''there is'' no bondage in their death, but their strength ''is'' firm.
 +
 +
* 5 They ''are'' not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like ''other'' men.
 +
 +
* 6 Therefore pride surrounds them as a chain; violence covers them like a garment.
 +
 +
* 7 Their eyes stand out with abundance; 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 walks through the earth.
 +
 +
* 10 Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
 +
 +
* 11 And they say, “How does 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 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
 +
 +
* 14 Because, all day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.
 +
 +
* 15 If I say, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I should stumble ''against'' the generation of Your children.
 +
 +
* 16 When I thought how to understand this, it ''was'' too painful for me
 +
 +
* 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; ''then'' I understood their end.
 +
 +
* 18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
 +
 +
* 19 Oh, how they are ''brought'' to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
 +
 +
* 20 As a dream when one awakes, ''so'', O Lord, when You awake, You will despise their image.
 +
 +
* 21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pierced in my mind.
 +
 +
* 22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was ''like'' a beast before You.
 +
 +
* 23 Nevertheless I ''am'' continually with You; You have held me by my right hand.
 +
 +
* 24 You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me ''to'' glory.
 +
 +
* 25 Whom ''have'' I in heaven ''but You''? And ''there is'' none upon earth that I desire besides You.
 +
 +
* 26 My flesh and my heart fail; ''but'' God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
 +
 +
* 27 Because surely, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who play the harlot from You.
 +
 +
* 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 Your works.
