12Lo, these are the wicked, yet prosper they alway, and increase in riches.
13Certainely I haue clensed mine heart in vaine, and washed mine hands in innocencie.
14For dayly haue I bene punished, and chastened euery morning.
15If I say, I will iudge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trespassed.
16Then thought I to know this, but it was too painefull for me,
17Vntill I went into the Sanctuarie of God: then vnderstoode I their ende.
18Surely thou hast set them in slipperie places, and castest them downe into desolation.
19How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,
20As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lord, when thou raisest vs vp, thou shalt make their image despised.
21Certainely mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reines:
22So foolish was I and ignorant: I was a beast before thee.
23Yet I was alway with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
24Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.
25Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee.
