  • 1 Book III Psalms 73–89 Psalm 73 A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
  • 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.
  • 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
  • 4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. 73:4 With a different word division of the Hebrew; Masoretic Text struggles at their death; / their bodies are healthy
  • 5 They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills.
  • 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
  • 7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity 73:7 Syriac (see also Septuagint); Hebrew Their eyes bulge with fat; their evil imaginations have no limits.
  • 8 They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
  • 9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
  • 10 Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance. 73:10 The meaning of the Hebrew for this verse is uncertain.
  • 11 They say, “How would God know? Does the Most High know anything?”
  • 12 This is what the wicked are like— always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
  • 13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure and have washed my hands in innocence.
  • 14 All day long I have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments.
  • 15 If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.
  • 16 When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply
  • 17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
  • 18 Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.
  • 19 How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!
  • 20 They are like a dream when one awakes; when you arise, Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
  • 21 When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,
  • 22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.
  • 23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.
  • 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.
  • 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
  • 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
  • 27 Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
  • 28 But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
