CHAP. LXXIII.
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.
1[A Psalme of Asaph.] Truely God is good to Israel, euen to such as are of a cleane heart.1
2But as for mee, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well-nigh slipt.
3For I was enuious at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperity of the wicked.3
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firme.4
5They are not in trouble as other men: neither are they plagued like other men.5
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chaine: violence couereth them as a garment.
7Their eies stand out with fatnes: they haue more then heart could wish.7
8They are corrupt, and speake wickedly concerning oppression: they speake loftily.
9They set their mouth against the heauens; and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people returne hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12Behold, these are the vngodly: who prosper in the world, they increase in riches.
13Uerily I haue cleansed my heart in vaine, and washed my hands in innocencie.
14For all the day long haue I bene plagued, and chastened euery morning.14
15If I say, I will speake thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painfull for me,16
17Untill I went into the Sanctuarie of God; then vnderstood I their end.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them downe into destruction.
19How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? they are vtterly consumed with terrours.
20As a dreame when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image.
21Thus my heart was greeued, and I was pricked in my reines.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.22
23Neuerthelesse I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsell; and afterward receiue me to glory.
25Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer.26
