A psalm of Asaph surely [is] good to Israel God to [people] pure of heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone. My steps had nearly slipped.
And I like a little (they had turned aside *Q(K)*) feet my like nothing (they had been poured out *Q(K)*) steps my.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
For I was jealous of the boasters [the] well-being of wicked [people] I saw.
4 For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.
That there not [are] pangs to death their and [is] fat body their.
5 They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.
[are] in [the] trouble of Humankind not they and with humankind not they are stricken.
6 Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.
Therefore [it is] a necklace [for] them pride it covers a garment of violence them.
7 Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
It comes out from fat eye their they pass over [the] imaginations of heart.
8 They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.
They mock - and they may speak with evil oppression from a high place they speak.
9 They have set their mouth in the heavens. Their tongue walks through the earth.
They set in the heavens mouth their and tongue their it walks on the earth.
10 Therefore their people return to them, and they drink up waters of abundance.
Therefore - (it turns back *Q(K)*) people his here and waters of full they are drained by them.
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
And they say how? does he know God and [is] there? knowledge with [the] Most High.
12 Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.
Here! these [are] wicked [people] and [people] at ease of perpetuity they increase wealth.
13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
Surely vanity I have kept pure heart my and I have washed in innocence hands my.
14 For all day long I have been plagued, and punished every morning.
And I have been stricken all the day and rebuke my [has been] to the mornings.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus”, behold, I would have betrayed the generation of your children.
If I had said I will speak like here! [the] generation of children your I dealt treacherously with.
16 When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me—
And I thought! to know this [was] trouble (it *Q(K)*) in view my.
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary, and considered their latter end.
Until I went into [the] sanctuari of God I considered end their.
18 Surely you set them in slippery places. You throw them down to destruction.
Surely on slippery [places] you set them you make fall them to deceptions.
19 How they are suddenly destroyed! They are completely swept away with terrors.
How! they have become a waste like a moment they come to an end they are finished from sudden terror.
20 As a dream when one wakes up, so, Lord, when you awake, you will despise their fantasies.
Like a dream from when awakes O Lord when waken - image their you will despise.
21 For my soul was grieved. I was embittered in my heart.
If it was embittered heart my and kidneys my I was pierced.
22 I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.
And I [was] stupid and not I knew animals I was with you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You have held my right hand.
And I continually [am] with you you take hold on [the] hand of right my.
24 You will guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
With counsel your you guide me and after honor you will take me.
25 Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.
Who? [belongs] to me in the heavens and with you not I take pleasure on the earth.
26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
It had come to an end flesh my and heart my [is] [the] rock of heart my and portion my God for ever.
27 For, behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to you.
For there! [people] far from you they will perish you destroy every [one who] acts as a prostitute from you.
28 But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
And I - [the] approach of God for me [is] good I have made - in [the] Lord Yahweh refuge my to recount all works your.
