1 Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart.
[gsn]
[tsk]
[tod]
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
[tsk]
[tod]
3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
[tsk]
4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm.
[gsn]
[tsk]
5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued like [other] men.
[tsk]
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.
[gsn]
[tsk]
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
[tsk]
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they speak loftily.
[tsk]
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
[gsn]
[tsk]
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are wrung out to them.
[gsn]
[tsk]
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
[gsn]
[tsk]
12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.
[tsk]
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
[tsk]
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
[tsk]
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend [against] the generation of thy children.
[gsn]
[tsk]
[tod]
16 When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
[tsk]
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end.
[gsn]
[tsk]
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
[tsk]
[tod]
19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
[gsn]
[tsk]
20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
[gsn]
[tsk]
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
[tsk]
[tod]
22 So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before thee.
[gsn]
[tsk]
23 Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden [me] by my right hand.
[gsn]
[tsk]
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me [to] glory.
[tsk]
25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.
[gsn]
[tsk]
[tod]
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
[gsn]
[tsk]
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
[gsn]
[tsk]
28 But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
[gsn]
[tsk]
