◄ PSA 73 ► ║ ©

0 1 The Prophet preuailing in a Temptation, 2 sheweth the occasion thereof, the prosperitie of the wicked: 13 The wound giuen thereby, diffidence. 15 The victory ouer it, knowledge of Gods purpose, in destroying of the wicked and sustaining the righteous.

¶ [fn][fn][A Psalme of Asaph.

LXXIII ¶ Truely God is good to Israel, euen to such as are of a cleane heart. 2 But as for mee, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well-nigh slipt. 3 [fn]For I was enuious at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperity of the wicked. 4 [fn]For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firme. 5 [fn][fn]They are not in trouble as other men: neither are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chaine: violence couereth them as a garment. 7 [fn]Their eies stand out with fatnes: they haue more then heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt, and speake wickedly concerning oppression: they speake loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heauens; and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10 Therefore his people returne 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 vngodly: who prosper in the world, they increase in riches. 13 Uerily I haue cleansed my heart in vaine, and washed my hands in innocencie. 14 [fn]For all the day long haue I bene plagued, and chastened euery morning. 15 If I say, I will speake thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16 [fn]When I thought to know this, it was too painfull for me, 17 Untill I went into the Sanctuarie of God; then vnderstood I their end. 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them downe into destruction. 19 How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? they are vtterly consumed with terrours. 20 As a dreame when one awaketh; so, O LORD, when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image. 21 Thus my heart was greeued, and I was pricked in my reines. 22 [fn][fn]So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 23 Neuerthelesse I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsell; and afterward receiue me to glory. 25 Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee. 26 [fn]My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer. 27 For loe, they that are farre from thee, shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that goe a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me, to drawe neere to God: I haue put my trust in the LORD God, that I may declare all thy workes.
