BOOK III

Psalms 73–89

Psalm 73

A psalm of Asaph.

1 Surely God is good to Israel,
    to those who are pure in heart.(A)

2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;(B)
    I had nearly lost my foothold.(C)
3 For I envied(D) the arrogant
    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.(E)

4 They have no struggles;
    their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free(F) from common human burdens;
    they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(G) is their necklace;(H)
    they clothe themselves with violence.(I)

Psalm 73:1-6
King James Version

73 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
