1A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, Even to such as are of a clean heart.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipt.
3For I was envious at the foolish, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4For there are no bands in their death: But their strength is firm.
5They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; Violence covereth them as a garment.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: They speak loftily.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
10Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the most High?
