Psalms 73:3-15

Thomson(i) 3 for I envied the unrighteous; when I saw the prosperity of sinners. 4 For there is no lifting up of eyes in their death: and in their affliction they have support. 5 They are not in trouble like other men; nor with other men to be scourged. 6 Therefore haughtiness hath got a mastery over them; they have clothed themselves with their iniquity and impiety. 7 Their iniquity springeth up as it were out of fatness; they passed on to the purpose of their heart. 8 They thought and spoke wickedly; they spoke injustice with a lofty air. 9 They set their mouth against heaven; and their tongue passed on over the earth. 10 Shall my people therefore turn to this; and will full days be found by them? 11 They indeed said, How doth God know? and, Is there any knowledge in the Most High? 12 Behold these who are sinful men; are always prosperous and have gotten wealth. 13 Nay, I myself said, Have I then in vain kept my heart just; and washed my hands in innocence. 14 All the day long I have been scourged; and the accusation against me is renewed every morning. 15 Had I said, I will make such a declaration openly: I should have been treacherous to the generation of thy children.
