Psalm 73:3-13

English Standard Version

⁴ For they have no pangs until death;
    their bodies are fat and sleek.
⁵ They are not in trouble as others are;
    they are not ^(D)stricken like the rest of mankind.
⁶ Therefore pride is ^(E)their necklace;
    violence covers them as ^(F)a garment.
⁷ Their ^(G)eyes swell out through fatness;
    their hearts overflow with follies.
⁸ They scoff and ^(H)speak with malice;
    loftily they threaten oppression.
⁹ They set their mouths against the heavens,
    and their tongue struts through the earth.
¹⁰ Therefore his people turn back to them,
    and find ^(I)no fault in them.^[a]
11 And they say, ^(J)“How can God know?
    Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
¹² Behold, these are the wicked;
    always at ease, they ^(K)increase in riches.
¹³ All in vain have I ^(L)kept my heart clean
    and ^(M)washed my hands in innocence.
