>
73:1[A Psalme of Asaph.] Truely God is good to Israel, euen to such as are of a cleane heart.
73:2But as for mee, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well-nigh slipt.
73:3For I was enuious at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperity of the wicked.
73:4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firme.
73:5They are not in trouble as other men: neither are they plagued like other men.
73:6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chaine: violence couereth them as a garment.
73:7Their eies stand out with fatnes: they haue more then heart could wish.
73:8They are corrupt, and speake wickedly concerning oppression: they speake loftily.
73:9They set their mouth against the heauens; and their tongue walketh through the earth.
73:10Therefore his people returne hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
73:11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
73:12Behold, these are the vngodly: who prosper in the world, they increase in riches.
73:13Uerily I haue cleansed my heart in vaine, and washed my hands in innocencie.
73:14For all the day long haue I bene plagued, and chastened euery morning.
73:15If I say, I will speake thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
73:16When I thought to know this, it was too painfull for me,
73:17Untill I went into the Sanctuarie of God; then vnderstood I their end.
73:18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them downe into destruction.
73:19How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? they are vtterly consumed with terrours.
73:20As a dreame when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image.
73:21Thus my heart was greeued, and I was pricked in my reines.
73:22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
73:23Neuerthelesse I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
73:24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsell; and afterward receiue me to glory.
73:25Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee.
73:26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer.
73:27For loe, they that are farre from thee, shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that goe a whoring from thee.
73:28But it is good for me, to drawe neere to God: I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.

 

73:1Truely the Lorde is very good vnto Israel: vnto such as haue a cleane heart
73:2Neuerthelesse, my feete were almost gone from me: my steppes had almost slypt
73:3For I enuied at the case of the foolishe: I sawe the wicked flowe in all kynde of prosperitie
73:4For there be no bondes of death that can holde them: and the galaries of their houses be strong
73:5They come in no misfortune lyke other folke: neither are they plagued lyke other men
73:6And this is the cause that pride compasse them rounde about: and crueltie couereth them as a garment
73:7Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: and the cogitations of their heartes do passe from them
73:8They make other dissolute, they speake oppression with iniurie: they talke proudely and presumptuously
73:9For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the worlde
73:10Therfore God his people turneth thither: and there is drawen vnto them waters in a full [cuppe.
73:11And they say, howe shoulde God perceaue it? is there knowledge in the most hyghest
73:12Lo these vngodly and fortunate in the worlde: do possesse riches
73:13Truely I haue cleansed my heart in vayne: and wasshed my handes in innocencie
73:14All the day long I haue ben scourged: and chastened euery mornyng
73:15If I shoulde say that I woulde iudge after this sort: lo then I shoulde condempne the generation of thy children
73:16Therfore I considered howe I might vnderstande this: but it was to paynefull in myne eyes
73:17Untyll I went vnto the sanctuarie of God: and vnderstood the ende of them
73:18Truely thou doest set them in slippery places: and castest them downe headlong for to be destroyed
73:19Oh howe be they brought to a destruction euen vpon a sodayne: they faynt, they consume away for very dread
73:20They be as a dreame to a man after he is once waked: O Lorde thou wylt cause their image to be dispised in the citie
73:21Ueryly thus was my heart inflamed: thus was my reynes pricked
73:22So foolishe was I and voyde of vnderstanding: I was euen a bruite beast before thee
73:23Neuerthelesse I am alway with thee: for thou hast holden me by my ryght hande
73:24Thou hast guyde me with thy counsayle: and after that thou receauedst me with glorie
73:25Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee
73:26My fleshe and my heart fayleth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer
73:27For lo, they that kepe them selues a loofe from thee shall perishe: thou destroyest euery one that committeth fornication agaynst thee
73:28But it is good for me to come neare vnto God: wherfore I put my trust in thee O Lorde God, that I may declare all thy workes

 

73:1A Psalme committed to Asaph. Yet God is good to Israel: euen, to the pure in heart.
73:2As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.
73:3For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.
73:4For there are no bandes in their death, but they are lustie and strong.
73:5They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.
73:6Therefore pride is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.
73:7Their eyes stande out for fatnesse: they haue more then heart can wish.
73:8They are licentious, and speake wickedly of their oppression: they talke presumptuously.
73:9They set their mouth against heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
73:10Therefore his people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
73:11And they say, Howe doeth God know it? or is there knowledge in the most High?
73:12Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
73:13Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
73:14For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
73:15If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
73:16Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
73:17Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
73:18Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
73:19How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
73:20As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
73:21Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
73:22So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
73:23Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
73:24Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
73:25Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
73:26My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.
73:27For loe, they that withdrawe themselues from thee, shall perish: thou destroyest all them that goe a whoring from thee.
73:28As for me, it is good for me to draw neere to God: therefore I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy workes.
