The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:1 -

A Psalm of Asaph.

God certainly is good to Israel,

To those who are pure in heart!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:2 -

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,

My steps [fn]had almost slipped.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:3 -

For I was envious of the [fn]arrogant

As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:4 -

For there are no pains in their death,

And their belly is fat.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:5 -

They are not [fn]in trouble like other people,

Nor are they tormented together with the rest of mankind.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:6 -

Therefore arrogance is their necklace;

The garment of violence covers them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:7 -

Their eye [fn]bulges from fatness;

The imaginations of their heart overflow.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:8 -

They mock and [fn]wickedly speak of oppression;

They speak from on high.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:9 -

They have set their mouth [fn]against the heavens,

And their tongue [fn]parades through the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:10 -

Therefore [fn]his people return here,

And abundant waters are drunk by them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:11 -

They say, “How does God know?

And is there knowledge [fn]with the Most High?”

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:12 -

Behold, these are the wicked;

And always at ease, they have increased in wealth.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:13 -

Surely in vain I have [fn]kept my heart pure

And washed my hands in innocence;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:14 -

For I have been stricken all day long,

And [fn]punished every morning.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:15 -

If I had said, “I will speak this way,”

Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:16 -

When I thought of understanding this,

It was [fn]troublesome in my sight

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:17 -

Until I entered the [fn]sanctuary of God;

Then I perceived their end.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:18 -

You indeed put them on slippery ground;

You dropped them into [fn]ruin.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:19 -

How they are [fn]destroyed in a moment!

They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:20 -

Like a dream when one awakes,

Lord, when stirred, You will despise their image.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:21 -

When my heart was embittered

And I was pierced [fn]within,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:22 -

I was like an animal [fn]before You.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:23 -

Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You have taken hold of my right hand.

You will guide me with Your plan,

And afterward receive me [fn]to glory.

Whom do I have in heaven but You?

And with You, I desire nothing on earth.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

But God is the [fn]strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;

You have destroyed all those who [fn]are unfaithful to You.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:28 -

But as for me, the nearness of God is good for me;

I have made the Lord [fn]GOD my refuge,

So that I may tell of all Your works.
