Psalm 73 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 73:1

Psa 73:1(LXX 72:1) A Psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to the upright in heart!

Psa 73:2

Psa 73:2(LXX 72:2) But my feet were almost overthrown; my goings very nearly slipped.

Psa 73:3

Psa 73:3(LXX 72:3) For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquillity of sinners.

Psa 73:4

Psa 73:4(LXX 72:4) For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and they have firmness under their affliction.

Psa 73:5

Psa 73:5(LXX 72:5) They are not in the troubles of other men; and they shall not be scourged with other men.

Psa 73:6

Psa 73:6(LXX 72:6) Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness.

Psa 73:7

Psa 73:7(LXX 72:7) Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention.

Psa 73:8

Psa 73:8(LXX 72:8) They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily.

Psa 73:9

Psa 73:9(LXX 72:9) They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.

Psa 73:10

Psa 73:10(LXX 72:10) Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found [fn]with them.

Psa 73:11

Psa 73:11(LXX 72:11) And they said, How does God know? and [fn]is there knowledge in the Most High?

Psa 73:12

Psa 73:12(LXX 72:12) Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth.

Psa 73:13

Psa 73:13(LXX 72:13) And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency.

Psa 73:14

Psa 73:14(LXX 72:14) For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning.

Psa 73:15

Psa 73:15(LXX 72:15) If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of thy children.

Psa 73:16

Psa 73:16(LXX 72:16) And I undertook to understand this, but it is too hard for me,

Psa 73:17

Psa 73:17(LXX 72:17) until I go into the sanctuary of God; and so understand the latter end.

Psa 73:18

Psa 73:18(LXX 72:18) Surely thou hast appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings: thou hast cast them down when they were lifted up.

Psa 73:19

Psa 73:19(LXX 72:19) How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity.

Psa 73:20

Psa 73:20(LXX 72:20) As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in thy city thou wilt despise their image.

Psa 73:21

Psa 73:21(LXX 72:21) For my heart has rejoiced, and my reins have been [fn]gladdened.

Psa 73:22

Psa 73:22(LXX 72:22) But I was vile and knew not: I became brutish before thee.

Psa 73:23

Psa 73:23(LXX 72:23) Yet I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand.

Psa 73:24

Psa 73:24(LXX 72:24) Thou hast guided me by thy counsel, and thou hast taken me to thyself with glory.

Psa 73:25

Psa 73:25(LXX 72:25) For what have I in heaven but thee? and what have I desired upon the earth beside thee?

Psa 73:26

Psa 73:26(LXX 72:26) My heart and my flesh have failed: but God is the strength of my heart, and God is my portion for ever.

Psa 73:27

Psa 73:27(LXX 72:27) For, behold, they that remove themselves far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed every one that goes a whoring from thee.

Psa 73:28

Psa 73:28(LXX 72:28) But it is good for me to cleave close to God, to put my trust in the Lord; that I may proclaim all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
