¹ A Psalm of Asaph Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart

² But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped

³ For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked

⁴ For there are no bands in their death: But their strength is firm

⁵ They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men

⁶ Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish

⁸ They scoff, And in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily

⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth

¹⁰ Therefore his people return hither: : And waters of a full cup are wrung out by them

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹² Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches

¹³ Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;

¹⁴ For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning

¹⁵ If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children

¹⁶ When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me;

¹⁷ Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end

¹⁸ Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction

¹⁹ How are they become a desolation in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors

²⁰ As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image

²¹ For my heart was grieved, And I was pricked in my reins:

²² So brutish was I, And ignorant; I was as a beast before thee

²³ Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand

²⁴ Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever

²⁷ For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee

²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord GODmy refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.
