fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Surely God is good to Israel, `Even' to such as are pure in heart. |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They are not in trouble as `other' men; Neither are they plagued like `other' men. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth. |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full `cup' are drained by them. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High? |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency; |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me; |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart: |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was `as' a beast before thee. |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Whom have I in heaven `but thee'? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, `departing' from thee. |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works. Psalm 74 Maschil of Asaph. |
