1: A PsalmH4210 of Asaph.H0623 TrulyH0389 goodH2896 to Israel,H3478 God [is]H0430 to such as are pure inH1249 heart.H3824

2: But [as for] me,H0589 almostH4592 had stumbled-H5186 my feetH7272 [nearly]H0369 had slippedH8210 My steps.H0838

3: ForH3588 I [was] enviousH7065 of the boastful,H1984 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563 when I saw.H7200

4: ForH3588 [there are] noH0369 pangsH2784 in their death,H4194 but fatH1277 their strength [is].H0193

5: In troubleH5999 [as other] men-H0582 they [are] notH0369 and likeH5973 [other] menH0120 norH3808 are they plagued.H5060

6: ThereforeH3651 serves as their necklace-H6059 prideH1346 coversH5848 [like] a garmentH7897 ViolenceH2555

7: BulgeH3318 with abundance-H2459 their eyesH5869 they have more thanH5674 could wishH4906 heart.H3824

8: They scoff,H4167 and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 [concerning] oppression-H6233 loftilyH4791 they speak.H1696

9: They setH8371 against the heavens,H8064 their mouthH6310 and their tongueH3956 walksH1980 through the earth.H0776

10: UponH3651 returnH7725 his peopleH5971 here-H1988 and watersH4325 of a full [cup]H4392 are drainedH4680

11: And they say,H0559 howH0349 does know?H3045 GodH0410 and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the Most High?H5945

12: behold,H2009 these [are]H0428 the ungodly,H7563 and who are at easeH7961 always-H5769 they increaseH7685 in riches.H2428

13: SurelyH0389 [in] vain,H7385 I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 and washedH7364 in innocenceH5356 my hands.H3709

14: For I have beenH1961 plagued,H5060 allH3605 day longH3117 and chastenedH8433 every morning.H1242

15: IfH0518 I had said,H0559 I will speakH5608 thus-H3644 behold,H2009 to the generationH1755 of Your childrenH1121 I would have been untrue.H0898

16: And when I thought [how]H2803 to understandH3045 this,H2063 too painfulH5999 it [was]H1931 for me.H5869

17: UntilH5704 I wentH0935 intoH0413 the sanctuaryH4720 of God-H0410 then I understoodH0995 their end.H0319

18: SurelyH0389 in slippery places-H2513 You setH7896 You cast them downH5307 to destruction.H4876

19: Oh howH0349 they are [brought]H1961 to desolation,H8047 as in a moment!H7281 they are consumedH5486 utterlyH8552 withH4480 terrors.H1091

20: As a dreamH2472 when [one] awakes-H6974 Lord,H0136 [So] when You awake,H5782 their imageH6754 You shall despise.H0959

21: ThusH3588 was grieved,H2556 my heartH3824 and in my mindH3629 I was vexed.H8150

22: So I [was],H0589 stupidH1198 andH3808 ignorant-H3045 [like] a beastH0929 I wasH1961 before You.H5973

23: And nevertheless I [am]H0589 continuallyH8548 with YouH5973 You hold [me]H0270 by handH3027 my right.H3225

24: With Your counsel,H6098 You will guide meH5148 and afterwardH0310 [to] gloryH3519 receive me.H3947

25: WhomH4310 in heavenH8064 and besides YouH5973 [there is] noneH3808 [that] I desireH2654 upon earth.H0776

26: Fail,H3615 My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 the strengthH6697 of my heart,H3824 and my portionH2506 [But] God [is]H0430 forever.H5769

27: For,H3588 indeed,H2009 those who are far from YouH7369 shall perish-H0006 You have destroyedH6789 allH3605 those who desert for harlotryH2181 You.H4480

28: But [as for] meH0589 to draw nearH7132 to God-H0430 [it is] goodH2896 I have putH7896 in the LordH0136 GOD,H3069 my trustH4268 that I may declareH5608 allH3605 Your works.H4399
