Wicked - Prosperity Of The

 

Ps 73

73:1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

73:2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh

slipped.

73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the

wicked.

73:4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

73:5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like

other men.

73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence

covereth them as a garment.

73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could

wish.

73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they

speak loftily.

73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh

through the earth.
