Psalm 73

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:06.740
-  A Psalm of Asaph

00:00:10.139 --> 00:00:15.149
Truly God is good to Israel, even
to such as are of a clean heart.

00:00:15.940 --> 00:00:22.740
But as for me, my feet were almost
gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:28.230
For I was envious at the foolish, when
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:34.019
For there are no bands in their
death: but their strength is firm.

00:00:35.099 --> 00:00:39.620
They are not in trouble as other men;
neither are they plagued like other men.

00:00:42.250 --> 00:00:47.490
Therefore pride compasseth
them about as a chain; violence

00:00:47.519 --> 00:00:49.309
covereth them as a garment.

00:00:50.769 --> 00:00:55.989
Their eyes stand out with fatness:
they have more than heart could wish.

00:00:56.529 --> 00:01:01.780
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

00:01:02.710 --> 00:01:05.949
They set their mouth against
the heavens, and their tongue

00:01:06.179 --> 00:01:07.570
walketh through the earth.

00:01:09.190 --> 00:01:13.950
Therefore his people return
hither: and waters of a full

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:15.320
cup are wrung out to them.

00:01:15.860 --> 00:01:17.610
And they say, How doth God know?

00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:20.839
and is there knowledge in the most High?

00:01:22.450 --> 00:01:27.429
Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper
in the world; they increase in riches.

00:01:28.370 --> 00:01:32.329
Verily I have cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:36.560
For all the day long have I been
plagued, and chastened every morning.

00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:41.880
If I say, I will speak thus;
behold, I should offend against

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:43.269
the generation of thy children.

00:01:45.410 --> 00:01:48.200
When I thought to know this,
it was too painful for me;

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:54.540
Until I went into the sanctuary of
God; then understood I their end.

00:01:55.750 --> 00:02:00.039
Surely thou didst set them in
slippery places: thou castedst

00:02:00.059 --> 00:02:01.980
them down into destruction.

00:02:03.219 --> 00:02:06.080
How are they brought into
desolation, as in a moment!

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.310
they are utterly consumed with terrors.

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.480
As a dream when one awaketh;
so, O Lord, when thou awakest,

00:02:15.510 --> 00:02:17.210
thou shalt despise their image.

00:02:18.910 --> 00:02:21.979
Thus my heart was grieved,
and I was pricked in my reins.

00:02:22.370 --> 00:02:26.840
So foolish was I, and ignorant:
I was as a beast before thee.

00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:33.930
Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
thou hast holden me by my right hand.

00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.940
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory.

00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:42.259
Whom have I in heaven but thee?

00:02:42.910 --> 00:02:45.790
and there is none upon earth
that I desire beside thee.

00:02:46.450 --> 00:02:50.900
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my

00:02:50.900 --> 00:02:53.090
heart, and my portion for ever.

00:02:53.670 --> 00:02:58.490
For, lo, they that are far from thee
shall perish: thou hast destroyed

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.279
all them that go a whoring from thee.

00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:06.770
But it is good for me to draw near to
God: I have put my trust in the Lord

00:03:06.770 --> 00:03:10.440
God, that I may declare all thy works.
