1 Tru­ly God is good to Is­rael, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were al­most gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was en­vi­ous at the fool­ish, 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 com­pas­seth them about as a chain; vi­o­lence cov­ereth them as a gar­ment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fat­ness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are cor­rupt, and speak wicked­ly concerning op­pres­sion: they speak lofti­ly.
9 They set their mouth against the heav­ens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10 There­fore his peo­ple re­turn hith­er: and wa­ters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowl­edge in the most High?
12 Be­hold, these are the un­god­ly, who pros­per in the world; they in­crease in rich­es.
13 Ver­i­ly I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in in­no­cen­cy.
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chas­tened ev­ery morn­ing.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; be­hold, I should of­fend against the gen­er­a­tion of thy chil­dren.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17 Un­til I went into the sanc­tu­ary of God; then un­der­stood I their end.
18 Sure­ly thou didst set them in slip­pery places: thou cast­edst them down into de­struc­tion.
19 How are they brought into des­o­la­tion, as 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 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22 So fool­ish was I, and ig­no­rant: I was as a beast be­fore thee.
23 Nev­er­the­less I am con­tin­u­al­ly with thee: thou hast hold­en me by 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 to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may de­clare all thy works.
