Psalms 73
1Surely God + 73:1 The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “ אֱלֹהִ֑ים” (Elohim). is 2 to those who are pure in heart. 1
2But as 2 My steps had nearly slipped. 1
3For 2 when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 1
4For 2 but their strength is firm. 1
5They 2 neither are they plagued like other men. 1
6Therefore 2 Violence covers them like a garment. 1
7Their 2 Their minds pass the limits of conceit. 1
8They 2 In arrogance, they threaten oppression. 1
9They 2 Their tongue walks through the earth. 1
10Therefore 2 and they drink up waters of abundance. 1
11They 2 Is there knowledge in the Most High?” 1
12Behold 2 Being always at ease, they increase in riches. 1
13Surely I 2 and washed my hands in innocence, 1
14For 2 and punished every morning. 1
15If 2 behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children. 1
16When 2 it was too painful for me— 1
17until 2 and considered their latter end. 1
18Surely 2 You throw them down to destruction. 1
19How they 2 They are completely swept away with terrors. 1
20As a 2 so, Lord, + 73:20 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” when you awake, you will despise their fantasies. 1
21For 2 I was embittered in my heart. 1
22I 2 I was a brute beast before you. 1
23Nevertheless, I 2 You have held my right hand. 1
24You 2 and afterward receive me to glory. 1
25Whom 2 There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. 1
26My 2 but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 1
27For 2 You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you. 1
28But 2 I have made the Lord GOD + 73:28 When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is the translation of God’s Proper Name (Hebrew “ יהוה”, usually pronounced Yahweh). my refuge, 2 that I may tell of all your works.
