Psalms 72:12-20

¹²Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: they have possessed wealth.

¹³And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocency.

¹⁴For I was plagued all the day, and my reproof was every morning.

¹⁵If I said, I will speak thus; behold, I should have broken covenant with the generation of your children.

¹⁶And I undertook to understand this, but it is too hard for me,

¹⁷until I go into the sanctuary of God; and so understand the latter end.

¹⁸Surely you have appointed judgements to them because of their crafty dealings: you have cast them down when they were lifted up.

¹⁹How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity.

²⁰As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in your city you will despise their image.
