Psalms 73:4-18

⁴For beholding is not to the death of them; and steadfastness in the sick-ness of them.

⁵They be not in travail of other men; and they shall not be beaten with men.

⁶Therefore pride hath held them; they were covered with their wicked-ness and unfaithfulness.

⁷The wickedness of them came forth as of fatness; they went into desire of heart.

⁸They thought and spake wayward-ness; they spake wickedness on high.

⁹They putted or put their mouth into heaven; and their tongue passed in the earth.

¹⁰Therefore my people shall be turned again here; and full days shall be found in them.

¹¹And they said, How knoweth God; and whether knowing is on high?

¹²Lo! those sinners and having abundance in the world; held riches.

¹³And I said, Therefore without cause I justified mine heart; and washed mine hands among innocents.

¹⁴And I was beaten all day; and my chastising was in morrowtides.

¹⁵If I said, I shall tell thus; lo! I have reproved the nation of thy sons.

¹⁶I guessed, that I should know this; but too much travail is before me.

¹⁷Till I enter into the saintuary of God; and understand in the last things of them.

¹⁸Nevertheless for guiles or treach-eries thou hast put to them; thou castedest them down, while they were raised.
