Psalmes 73

1 The prophet, prevailing in a temptation, 2 sheweth the occasion thereof, the prosperity of the wicked: 13 the wound given thereby, diffidence. 15 The victory over it, knowledge of God's purpose, in destroying of the wicked, and sustaining the righteous.

 73:1 ¶ [[A Psalme 4210 of Asaph.]] 623 Truely x389 God 430 [is] good 2896 to Israel, 3478 [euen] to such as are of a cleane 1249 heart. 3824

 73:2 But as for mee, x589 my feete 7272 were almost 4592 gone: 5186 z8804 z8675 z8803 my steps 838 had well-nigh 369 slipt. 8210 z8795

 73:3 For x3588 I was enuious 7065 z8765 at the foolish, 1984 z8802 [when] I sawe 7200 z8799 the prosperity 7965 of the wicked. 7563

 73:4 For x3588 [there are] no x369 bands 2784 in their death: 4194 but their strength 193 is firme. 1277

 73:5 They [are] not x369 in trouble 5999 [as other] men: 582 neither x3808 are they plagued 5060 z8792 like 5973 [other] men. 120

 73:6 Therefore x3651 pride 1346 compasseth them about as a chaine: 6059 z8804 violence 2555 couereth 5848 z8799 them [as] a garment. 7897

 73:7 Their eies 5869 stand out 3318 z8804 with fatnes: 2459 x4480 they haue more 5674 z8804 then heart 3824 could wish. 4906

 73:8 They are corrupt, 4167 z8686 and speake 1696 z8762 wickedly 7451 [concerning] oppression: 6233 they speake 1696 z8762 loftily. 4791 x4480

 73:9 They set 8371 z8804 their mouth 6310 against the heauens; 8064 and their tongue 3956 walketh 1980 z8799 through the earth. 776

 73:10 Therefore x3651 his people 5971 returne 7725 z8799 z8675 z8686 hither: 1988 and waters 4325 of a full 4392 [cup] are wrung out 4680 z8735 to them.

 73:11 And they say, 559 z8804 How x349 doth God 410 know? 3045 z8804 and is there 3426 knowledge 1844 in the most High? 5945

 73:12 Behold, x2009 these x428 [are] the vngodly: 7563 who prosper 7961 in the world, 5769 they increase 7685 z8689 [in] riches. 2428

 73:13 Uerily x389 I haue cleansed 2135 z8765 my heart 3824 in vaine, 7385 and washed 7364 z8799 my hands 3709 in innocencie. 5356

 73:14 For all x3605 the day 3117 long haue I bene x1961 plagued, 5060 z8803 and chastened 8433 euery morning. 1242

 73:15 If x518 I say, 559 z8804 I will speake 5608 z8762 thus: 3644 behold, x2009 I should offend 898 z8804 [against] the generation 1755 of thy children. 1121

 73:16 When I thought 2803 z8762 to know 3045 z8800 this, x2063 it x1931 [was] too painfull 5999 for x5869 me, y5869

 73:17 Untill x5704 I went 935 z8799 into x413 the Sanctuarie 4720 of God; 410 [then] vnderstood 995 z8799 I their end. 319

 73:18 Surely x389 thou didst set 7896 z8799 them in slippery places: 2513 thou castedst them downe 5307 z8689 into destruction. 4876

 73:19 How x349 are x1961 they [brought] into desolation 8047 as in a moment? 7281 they are vtterly y5486 z8804 consumed 8552 z8804 x5486 with x4480 terrours. 1091

 73:20 As a dreame 2472 when one awaketh; 6974 z8687 x4480 [so], O Lord, 136 when thou awakest 5782 thou shalt despise 959 z8799 their image. 6754

 73:21 Thus x3588 my heart 3824 was greeued, 2556 z8691 and I was pricked 8150 z8709 in my reines. 3629

 73:22 So foolish 1198 was I, x589 and ignorant: 3045 z8799 x3808 I was x1961 [as] a beast 929 before x5973 thee.

 73:23 Neuerthelesse I x589 [am] continually 8548 with x5973 thee: thou hast holden 270 z8804 [me] by my right 3225 hand. 3027

 73:24 Thou shalt guide 5148 z8686 me with thy counsell; 6098 and afterward 310 receiue 3947 z8799 me [to] glory. 3519

 73:25 Whom x4310 [haue] I in heauen 8064 [but thee]? and [there is] none x3808 vpon earth 776 that I desire 2654 z8804 besides x5973 thee.

 73:26 My flesh 7607 and my heart 3824 faileth: 3615 z8804 but God 430 [is] the strength 6697 of my heart, 3824 and my portion 2506 for euer. 5769

 73:27 For x3588 loe, x2009 they that are farre 7369 from thee, shall perish: 6 z8799 thou hast destroyed 6789 z8689 all x3605 them that goe a whoring 2181 z8802 from x4480 thee.

 73:28 But y589 it x589 is good 2896 for me, to drawe neere 7132 to God: 430 I haue put 7896 z8804 my trust 4268 in the Lord 136 GOD, 3069 that I may declare 5608 z8763 all x3605 thy workes. 4399
