Psalm 73

Verses of Psalm 73 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.
2 - But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.
3 - For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 - For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm.
5 - They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.
6 - Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment.
7 - Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish.
8 - They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily.
9 - They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth.
10 - Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
11 - And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?"
12 - Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches.
13 - Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.
14 - For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.
15 - If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
16 - When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me--
17 - Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end.
18 - Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.
19 - Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20 - As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.
21 - Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind.
22 - I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.
23 - Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand.
24 - You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
25 - Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 - My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 - For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
28 - 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 Your works.
