1 # < of Asaph <0623>.>> Truly God <0430> is good <02896> to Israel <03478>, even to such as are of a clean <01249> heart <03824>.
2 But as for me, my feet <07272> were almost <04592> gone <05186> (8804) (8675) <05186> (8803) ; my steps <0838> had well nigh <0369> slipped <08210> (8795).
3 For I was envious <07065> (8765) at the foolish <01984> (8802), when I saw <07200> (8799) the prosperity <07965> of the wicked <07563>.
4 For there are no bands <02784> in their death <04194>: but their strength <0193> is firm <01277>.
5 They are not in trouble <05999> as other men <0582>; neither are they plagued <05060> (8792) like <05973> other men <0120>.
6 Therefore pride <01346> compasseth them about as a chain <06059> (8804); violence <02555> covereth <05848> (8799) them as a garment <07897>.
7 Their eyes <05869> stand out <03318> (8804) with fatness <02459>: they have more <05674> (8804) than heart <03824> could wish <04906>.
8 They are corrupt <04167> (8686), and speak <01696> (8762) wickedly <07451> concerning oppression <06233>: they speak <01696> (8762) loftily <04791>.
9 They set <08371> (8804) their mouth <06310> against the heavens <08064>, and their tongue <03956> walketh <01980> (8799) through the earth <0776>.
10 Therefore his people <05971> return <07725> (8799) (8675) <07725> (8686) hither <01988> : and waters <04325> of a full <04392> cup are wrung out <04680> (8735) to them.
11 And they say <0559> (8804), How doth God <0410> know <03045> (8804)? and is there <03426> knowledge <01844> in the most High <05945>?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly <07563>, who prosper <07961> in the world <05769>; they increase <07685> (8689) in riches <02428>.
13 Verily I have cleansed <02135> (8765) my heart <03824> in vain <07385>, and washed <07364> (8799) my hands <03709> in innocency <05356>.
14 For all the day <03117> long have I been plagued <05060> (8803), and chastened <08433> every morning <01242>.
15 # If I say <0559> (8804), I will speak <05608> (8762) thus <03644>; behold, I should offend <0898> (8804) against the generation <01755> of thy children <01121>.
16 When I thought <02803> (8762) to know <03045> (8800) this, it was too painful <05999> for me <05869>;
17 Until I went <0935> (8799) into the sanctuary <04720> of God <0410>; then understood <0995> (8799) I their end <0319>.
18 Surely thou didst set <07896> (8799) them in slippery places <02513>: thou castedst them down <05307> (8689) into destruction <04876>.
19 How are they brought into desolation <08047>, as in a moment <07281>! they are utterly <05486> (8804) consumed <08552> (8804) with terrors <01091>.
20 As a dream <02472> when one awaketh <06974> (8687); so, O Lord <0136>, when thou awakest <05782> , thou shalt despise <0959> (8799) their image <06754>.
21 # Thus my heart <03824> was grieved <02556> (8691), and I was pricked <08150> (8709) in my reins <03629>.
22 So foolish <01198> was I, and ignorant <03045> (8799): I was as a beast <0929> before thee.
23 Nevertheless I am continually <08548> with thee: thou hast holden <0270> (8804) me by my right <03225> hand <03027>.
24 Thou shalt guide <05148> (8686) me with thy counsel <06098>, and afterward <0310> receive <03947> (8799) me to glory <03519>.
25 Whom have I in heaven <08064> but thee? and there is none upon earth <0776> that I desire <02654> (8804) beside thee.
26 My flesh <07607> and my heart <03824> faileth <03615> (8804): but God <0430> is the strength <06697> of my heart <03824>, and my portion <02506> for ever <05769>.
27 For, lo, they that are far <07369> from thee shall perish <06> (8799): thou hast destroyed <06789> (8689) all them that go a whoring <02181> (8802) from thee.
28 But <0589> it is good <02896> for me to draw near <07132> to God <0430>: I have put <07896> (8804) my trust <04268> in the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, that I may declare <05608> (8763) all thy works <04399>.
