Psalm title
- 1Surely God is good to Israel, [supplied: Even] to such as are pure in heart.
- 2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.
- 3For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
- 4For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.
- 5They are not in trouble as [supplied: other] men; Neither are they plagued like [supplied: other] men.
- 6Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.
- 7Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.
- 8They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.
- 9They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
- 10Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full [supplied: cup] are drained by them.
- 11And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
- 12Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
- 13Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;
- 14For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.
- 15If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
- 16When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;
- 17Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.
- 18Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.
- 19How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
- 20As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
- 21For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:
- 22So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was [supplied: as] a beast before thee.
- 23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.
- 24Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
- 25Whom have I in heaven [supplied: but thee]? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
- 26My flesh and my heart faileth; [supplied: But] God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
- 27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, [supplied: departing] from thee.
- 28But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works. Psalm 74 Maschil of Asaph.
