Psalms 72:13-19

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 thy 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 thou hast appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings: Thou hast cast them down when they were lifted up.

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