Psalms 73:7-12 in English

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.

⁸ They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.

⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

¹⁰ Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹² Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

⁷ They have burnt thy sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of thy name.

⁸ They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.

⁹ We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name for ever?

¹¹ Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?

¹² But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

⁷ Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

⁸ They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

⁹ They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

¹⁰ Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

¹² Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?

¹² Behold, these are the wicked; and, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

⁷ From their inner beings they ◄pour out/do► evil deeds, and they are always thinking about more evil things to do.

⁸ They scoff at other people, and they talk about doing evil things to them; they are proud while they plan to oppress others.

⁹ They say evil things about God who is in heaven MTY, and they talk boastfully/proudly about things that they have done here on the earth.

¹⁰ The result is that people listen to what they say and praise them and do not think that they have done anything that is wrong.

¹¹ Wicked people say to themselves, “God will certainly not RHQ know what we have done; people say that he is greater than any other god, but he does not know everything.”

¹² That is what wicked people are like; they never worry about anything, and they are always becoming richer.

¹¹ Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?

¹² But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

⁸ They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.

⁹ Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?

¹¹ Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?

¹² But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.

⁷ Their eyes bulge out because they're so fat; their minds are full of selfish vanity.

⁸ They mock people, and speak maliciously; they arrogantly threaten cruelty.

⁹ They talk irreverently against heaven above, and defame people here on earth.

¹⁰ As a result people turn to them and drink in everything they say.

⁸ They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression; they speak as if there were none on high.

⁹ They have set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

¹⁰ Therefore His people return hither; and waters of fullness are drained out by them.

¹² Behold these are the ungodly! Yet they are ever prosperous; they heap up riches.

⁷ their eyes stand out with fatness, their heart swells with riotous fancies.

⁸ Their speech is mocking and evil, condescending and crooked their speech.

⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens, while their tongue struts about on the earth.
