| 1 | Truely God is good to Israel, euen to such as are of a cleane heart. |
| 2 | But as for mee, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well-nigh slipt. |
| 3 | For I was enuious at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperity of the wicked. |
| 4 | For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firme. |
| 5 | They are not in trouble as other men: neither are they plagued like other men. |
| 6 | Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chaine: violence couereth them as a garment. |
| 7 | Their eies stand out with fatnes: they haue more then heart could wish. |
| 8 | They are corrupt, and speake wickedly concerning oppression: they speake loftily. |
| 9 | They set their mouth against the heauens; and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
| 10 | Therefore his people returne 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 vngodly: who prosper in the world, they increase in riches. |
| 13 | Uerily I haue cleansed my heart in vaine, and washed my hands in innocencie. |
| 14 | For all the day long haue I bene plagued, and chastened euery morning. |
| 15 | If I say, I will speake thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. |
| 16 | When I thought to know this, it was too painfull for me, |
| 17 | Untill I went into the Sanctuarie of God; then vnderstood I their end. |
| 18 | Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them downe into destruction. |
| 19 | How are they brought into desolation as in a moment? they are vtterly consumed with terrours. |
| 20 | As a dreame when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest thou shalt despise their image. |
| 21 | Thus my heart was greeued, and I was pricked in my reines. |
| 22 | So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. |
| 23 | Neuerthelesse I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. |
| 24 | Thou shalt guide me with thy counsell; and afterward receiue me to glory. |
| 25 | Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and there is none vpon earth that I desire besides thee. |
| 26 | My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer. |
| 27 | For loe, they that are farre from thee, shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that goe awhoring from thee. |
| 28 | But it is good for me, to drawe neere to God: I haue put my trust in the Lord God, that I maydeclare all thy workes. |
