ABP - Psalms - 73

73:1  O how good is God to Israel, to the ones straight in the heart.

73:2  But my [2were a little 3shaken 1feet]; [3a little 2slipped 1my footsteps].

73:3  For I was jealous over the lawless things, [2the peace 3of sinners 1viewing].

73:4  For there is no sign of reluctance in their death, nor confirmation in their whip.

73:5  In toils of men they are not troubled, and with other men they will not be whipped.

73:6  On account of this [2held 3them 1their pride] to the end. They clothed themselves [2injustice 3and 4impiety 1of their own].

73:7  [2comes forth 3as 4from out of 5fatness 1Their injustice]. They went by disposition of heart.

73:8  They considered and spoke in wickedness. [2injustice 3in 4the 5haughtiness 1They spoke].

73:9  They set [2against 3heaven 1their mouth], and their tongue went through upon the earth.

73:10  On account of this [2shall return 1my people] here; and [2days 1full] shall be found with them.

73:11  And they said, How did God know? and, Is there knowledge in the highest?

73:12  Behold, these are the sinners, and they prosper into the eon, holding wealth.

73:13  And I said, Surely in folly I justified my heart, and washed [2in 3innocent things 1my hands];

73:14  and became for whipping all the day; and my reproof is in the mornings.

73:15  If I had said, I shall describe thus; behold, in the generation of your sons, I have broken contract.

73:16  And I undertook to know this, but it is toilsome before me;

73:17  until of which time I should enter into the sanctuary of God, and should perceive to their latter end.

73:18  Besides, on account of their deceits you appointed evils unto them; you threw them down in their being lifted up.

73:19  O how they became for desolation. Suddenly they failed; they were destroyed because of their lawlessness.

73:20  As a dream of one awakening, O lord, in your city, [2their image 1you will treat] with contempt.

73:21  For [2was kindled 1my heart], and my kidneys were changed.

73:22  And I being with contempt, and not knowing, [2brutish 1became] before you.

73:23  But I was always with you; you held [2hand 1my right],

73:24  and in your counsel you guided me, and with glory you received me.

73:25  For what exists to me in the heaven? And besides you, what did I want upon the earth?

73:26  [4failed 1My heart 2and 3my flesh]. God is the strength of my heart, and [2is my portion 1God] into the eon.

73:27  For behold, the ones being far [3by their own makings 1from 2you] shall perish. You utterly destroyed every one committing harlotry from you.

73:28  But for me to cleave to God is good; to put [2in 3the 4 lord 1my hope]; for me to declare all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
