Psalms 73:1-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 73
1
God certainly is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!
2
But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps had almost slipped.
3
For I was envious of the arrogant
As
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
For there are no pains in their death,
And their belly is fat.
5
They are not in trouble like other people,
Nor are they tormented together with
the rest of
mankind.
6
Therefore arrogance is their necklace;
The garment of violence covers them.
7
Their eye bulges from fatness;
The imaginations of
their
heart overflow.
8
They mock and wickedly speak of oppression;
They speak from on high.
9
They have set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue parades through the earth.
10
Therefore his people return here,
And abundant waters are drunk by them.
11
They say, 'How does God know?
And is there knowledge with the Most High?'
12
Behold, these are the wicked;
And always at ease, they have increased
in
wealth.
King James Version
Chapter 73
1
A Psalm of Asaph. 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.
7
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12
Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 73
1
A psalm of Asaph.
God is indeed good to Israel,
to the pure in heart.
2
But as for me, my feet almost slipped;
my steps nearly went astray.
3
For I envied the arrogant;
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
They have an easy time until they die,
and their bodies are well fed.
5
They are not in trouble like others;
they are not afflicted like most people.
6
Therefore, pride is their necklace,
and violence covers them like a garment.
7
Their eyes bulge out from fatness;
the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
8
They mock, and they speak maliciously;
they arrogantly threaten oppression.
9
They set their mouths against heaven,
and their tongues strut across the earth.
10
Therefore his people turn to them
and drink in their overflowing words.
11
The wicked say, "How can God know?
Does the Most High know everything?"
12
Look at them—the wicked!
They are always at ease,
and they increase their wealth.
New Living Translation
Chapter 73
1
Truly God is good to Israel,
to those whose hearts are pure.
2
But as for me, I almost lost my footing.
My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.
3
For I envied the proud
when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.
4
They seem to live such painless lives;
their bodies are so healthy and strong.
5
They don’t have troubles like other people;
they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.
6
They wear pride like a jeweled necklace
and clothe themselves with cruelty.
7
These fat cats have everything
their hearts could ever wish for!
8
They scoff and speak only evil;
in their pride they seek to crush others.
9
They boast against the very heavens,
and their words strut throughout the earth.
10
And so the people are dismayed and confused,
drinking in all their words.
11
'What does God know?' they ask.
'Does the Most High even know what’s happening?'
12
Look at these wicked people —
enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.

Chapter 73
1
Truly God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
2
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
my steps had nearly slipped.
3
For I was envious of the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
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 stricken like the rest of mankind.
6
Therefore pride is their necklace;
violence covers them as a garment.
7
Their eyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8
They scoff and 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 no fault in them.
11
And they say, "How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12
Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they increase in riches.
New International Version
Chapter 73
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 common human burdens;
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 ;
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8
They scoff, and speak with malice;
with 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 would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?"
12
This is what the wicked are like—
always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
New King James Version
Chapter 73
1
{A Psalm of Asaph.}
Truly God
is
good to Israel,
To such as are pure in heart.
2
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly slipped.
3
For I
was
envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
For
there are
no pangs in their death,
But their strength
is
firm.
5
They
are
not in trouble
as other
men,
Nor are they plagued like
other
men.
6
Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them
like
a garment.
7
Their eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish.
8
They scoff and speak wickedly
concerning
oppression;
They speak loftily.
9
They set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth.
10
Therefore his people return here,
And waters of a full
cup
are drained by them.
11
And they say, “How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12
Behold, these
are
the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase
in
riches.
