• 1. A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

• 2. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold.

• 3. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

• 4. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong.

• 5. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.

• 6. Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.

• 7. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.

• 8. They scoff, and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.

• 9. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.

• 10. Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance.

• 11. They say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"

• 12. This is what the wicked are like--always carefree, they increase in wealth.

• 13. Surely in vain have I kept my heart pure; in vain have I washed my hands in innocence.

• 14. All day long I have been plagued; I have been punished every morning.

• 15. If I had said, "I will speak thus," I would have betrayed your children.

• 16. When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me

• 17. till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.

• 18. Surely you place them on slippery ground; you cast them down to ruin.

• 19. How suddenly are they destroyed, completely swept away by terrors!

• 20. As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.

• 21. When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered,

• 22. I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you.

• 23. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand.

• 24. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory.

• 25. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

• 26. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

• 27. Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

• 28. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
