1	A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. [of: or, for] [Truly: or, Yet] [of...: Heb. clean of heart]
			2	But as for me, my feet were almost gone# # # # ; my steps had well nigh slipped# .
			3	For I was envious# at the foolish# , when I saw# the prosperity of the wicked.
			4	For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. [firm: Heb. fat]
			5	They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued# like other men. [in...: Heb. in the trouble of other men] [like: Heb. with]
			6	Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain# ; violence covereth# them as a garment.
			7	Their eyes stand out# with fatness: they have more# than heart could wish. [have...: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart]
			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.
			13	Verily I have cleansed# my heart in vain, and washed# my hands in innocency.
			14	For all the day long have I been plagued# , and chastened every morning. [chastened: Heb. my chastisement was]
			15	If I say# , I will speak# thus; behold, I should offend# against the generation of thy children.
			16	When I thought# to know# this, it was too painful for me; [too...: Heb. labour in mine eyes]
			17	Until I went# into the sanctuary of God; then understood# I their end.
			18	Surely thou didst set# them in slippery places: thou castedst them down# into destruction.
			19	How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly# consumed# with terrors.
			20	As a dream when one awaketh# ; so , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise# their image.
			21	Thus my heart was grieved# , and I was pricked# in my reins.
			22	So foolish was I, and ignorant# : I was as a beast before thee. [ignorant: Heb. I knew not] [before Heb. with]
			23	Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden# me by my right hand.
			24	Thou shalt guide# me with thy counsel, and afterward receive# me to glory.
			25	Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire# beside thee.
			26	My flesh and my heart faileth# : but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. [strength: Heb. rock]
			27	For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish# : thou hast destroyed# all them that go a whoring# from thee.
			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 thy works.
