BOOK 3
1
The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.
1
Surely
God
is
1
good
to
Israel
, To those
who
are
2
pure
in
heart
!
2
But as for me,
3
my
feet
came
close
to
stumbling
, My
steps
had
almost
slipped
.
3
For I was
4
envious
of the
arrogant
As I
saw
the
5
prosperity
of the
wicked
.
4
For
there
are
no
pains
in their
death
, And their
body
is
fat
.
5
They are
6
not in
trouble
as other
men
,
Nor
are they
7
plagued
like
mankind
.
6
Therefore
pride
is
8
their
necklace
; The
9
garment
of
violence
covers
them.
7
Their
eye
bulges
from
10
fatness
; The
imaginations
of their
heart
run
riot
.
8
They
11
mock
and
wickedly
speak
of
oppression
; They
12
speak
from on
high
.
9
They have
13
set
their
mouth
against the
heavens
, And their
tongue
parades
through the
earth
.
10
Therefore
his
people
return
to
this
place
, And
waters
of
14
abundance
are
drunk
by them.
11
They
say
, "
15
How
does
God
know
? And is
there
knowledge
with the
Most
High
?"
12
Behold
,
16
these
are the
wicked
; And
always
17
at
ease
, they have
increased
in
wealth
.
13
Surely
18
in
vain
I have
kept
my
heart
pure
And
19
washed
my
hands
in
innocence
;
14
For I have been
stricken
20
all
day
long And
21
chastened
every
morning
.
15
If
I had
said
, "I will
speak
thus
,"
Behold
, I would have
betrayed
the
22
generation
of Your
children
.
16
When I
23
pondered
to
understand
this
, It was
troublesome
in my
sight
17
Until
I
came
into the
24
sanctuary
of
God
; Then I
perceived
their
25
end
.
18
Surely
You
set
them in
26
slippery
places
; You
cast
them
down
to
27
destruction
.
19
How
they are
28
destroyed
in a
moment
! They are
utterly
swept
away
by
29
sudden
terrors
!
20
Like a
30
dream
when
one
awakes
, O
Lord
, when
31
aroused
, You will
32
despise
their
form
.
21
When
my
33
heart
was
embittered
And I was
34
pierced
within
,
22
Then I was
35
senseless
and
ignorant
*
; I was like a
36
beast
before
You.
23
Nevertheless
37
I am
continually
with You; You have
taken
hold
of my
right
hand
.
24
With Your
counsel
You will
38
guide
me, And
afterward
39
receive
me to
glory
.
25
40
Whom
have I in
heaven
but You? And
besides
You, I
desire
nothing
on
earth
.
26
My
41
flesh
and my
heart
may
fail
, But
God
is the
strength
of my
heart
and my
42
portion
forever
.
27
For,
behold
,
43
those who are
far
from You will
44
perish
; You have
destroyed
all
those who
45
are
unfaithful
to You.
28
But as for me,
46
the
nearness
of
God
is my
good
; I have
made
the
Lord
GOD
my
47
refuge
, That I may
48
tell
of
all
Your
works
.
