Psalms 73:3-15

Brenton(i) 3 (72:3) For I was jealous of the transgressors, beholding the tranquility of sinners. 4 (72:4) For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: and they have firmness under their affliction. 5 (72:5) They are not in the troubles of other men; and they shall not be scourged with other men. 6 (72:6) Therefore pride has possessed them; they have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness. 7 (72:7) Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: they have fulfilled their intention. 8 (72:8) They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily. 9 (72:9) They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth. 10 (72:10) Therefore shall my people return hither: and full days shall be found with them. 11 (72:11) And they said, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? 12 (72:12) Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth. 13 (72:13) And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency. 14 (72:14) For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning. 15 (72:15) If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of thy children.
