Psalm 73:1-3
New King James Version
BOOK THREE
Psalms 73–89
The Tragedy of the Wicked, and the Blessedness of Trust in God
A Psalm of (A)Asaph.
73 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 (B)slipped.
3 (C)For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the (D)wicked.
Psalm 73:21-26
New King James Version
21 Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was [a]vexed in my mind.
22 (A)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 (B)You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25 (C)Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 (D)My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the [b]strength of my heart and my (E)portion forever.
