1A Psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, To the upright in heart!
2But my feet were almost overthrown; My goings very nearly slipped.
3For I was jealous of the transgressors, Beholding the tranquility of sinners.
4For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: And they have firmness under their affliction.
5They are not in the troubles of other men; And they shall not be scourged with other men.
6Therefore pride has possessed them; They have clothed themselves with their injustice and ungodliness.
7Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: They have fulfilled their intention.
8They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: They have uttered unrighteousness loftily.
9They have set their mouth against heaven, And their tongue has gone through upon the earth.
10Therefore shall my people return hither: And full days shall be found with them.
11And they said, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
12Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: They have possessed wealth.
