Psalms 72 — ENGLXXUP

72 Verse 1 A Psalm for Asaph. ^{Verse 2} But my feet were almost overthrown; ^{Verse 3} For I was jealous of the transgressors, ^{Verse 4} For there is no sign of reluctance in their death: ^{Verse 5} They are not in the troubles of other men; ^{Verse 6} Therefore pride has possessed them; ^{Verse 7} Their injustice shall go forth as out of fatness: ^{Verse 8} They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: ^{Verse 9} They have set their mouth against heaven, ^{Verse 10} Therefore shall my people return hither: ^{Verse 11} And they said, How does God know? ^{Verse 12} Behold, these are the sinners, and they that prosper always: ^{Verse 13} And I said, Verily in vain have I justified my heart, ^{Verse 14} For I was plagued all the day, ^{Verse 15} If I said, I will speak thus; ^{Verse 16} And I undertook to understand this, ^{Verse 17} Until I go into the sanctuary of God; ^{Verse 18} Surely thou hast appointed judgments to them because of their crafty dealings: ^{Verse 19} How have they become desolate! ^{Verse 20} As the dream of one awakening, ^{Verse 21} For my heart has rejoiced, ^{Verse 22} But I was vile and knew not: ^{Verse 23} Yet I am continually with thee: ^{Verse 24} Thou hast guided me by thy counsel, ^{Verse 25} For what have I in heaven but thee? ^{Verse 26} My heart and my flesh have failed: ^{Verse 27} For, behold, they that remove themselves far from thee shall perish: ^{Verse 28} But it is good for me to cleave close to God,
