Psalms 72:1-8

¹A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!

²But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.

³Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.

⁴For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.

⁵They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.

⁶Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.

⁷Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.

⁸They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
