19:073:004 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is
firm.
19:073:005 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued
like other men.
19:073:006 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
covereth them as a garment.
19:073:007 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart
could wish.
19:073:008 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression:
they speak loftily.
19:073:009 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
walketh through the earth.
19:073:010 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup
are wrung out to them.
19:073:011 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?
19:073:012 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
19:073:013 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands
in innocency.
19:073:014 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
19:073:015 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against
the generation of thy children.
19:073:016 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
19:073:017 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I
their end.
19:073:018 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst
them down into destruction.
19:073:019 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
19:073:020 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
19:073:021 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
19:073:022 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
19:073:023 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me
by my right hand.
19:073:024 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me
to glory.
19:073:025 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth
that I desire beside thee.
19:073:026 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.
19:073:027 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
19:073:028 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.
19:074:001 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine
anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
19:074:002 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old;
the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this
mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
