Psalm 73:1-9

Authorized (King James) Version

¹ Truly God is good to Israel,
even to such as are of a clean 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.
⁵ They are not in trouble as other men;
neither are they plagued like other men.
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.
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.
