19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither
are they plagued
like
other men.
19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as
a chain; violence
covereth
them as a garment.
19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness:
they have more than heart
could
wish.
19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning
oppression:
they
speak loftily.
19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens,
and their tongue
walketh
through the earth.
19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither:
and waters of a full cup
are
wrung out to them.
19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is
there knowledge in the
most
High?
19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper
in the world; they
increase
in riches.
19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain,
and washed my hands
in
innocency.
19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued,
and chastened every
morning.
19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I
should offend against
the
generation of thy children.
19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then understood I
their
end.
19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery
places: thou castedst
them
down into destruction.
19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as
in a moment! they are
utterly
consumed with terrors.
19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord,
when thou awakest,
thou
shalt despise their image.
19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee:
thou hast holden me
by
my right hand.
19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and
afterward receive me
to
glory.
19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there
is none upon earth
that
I desire beside thee.
19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but
God is the strength of my
heart,
and my portion for ever.
19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall
perish: thou hast
destroyed
all them that go a whoring from thee.
19:073:028 But it is good for me to draw near to God:
I have put my trust
in
the Lord god, that I may declare all thy works.
19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever?
why doth thine
anger
smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast
purchased of old;
the
rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed;
this
mount
Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
