TRULY God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015593">2</a>. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015594">3</a>. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015595">4</a>. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015596">5</a>. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015597">6</a>. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015598">7</a>. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015599">8</a>. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015600">9</a>. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015601">10</a>. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015602">11</a>. And they say, How doth God know?  and is there knowledge in the most High?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015603">12</a>. Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015604">13</a>. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015605">14</a>. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015606">15</a>. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015607">16</a>. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015608">17</a>. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015609">18</a>. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015610">19</a>. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment!  they are utterly consumed with terrors.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015611">20</a>. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015612">21</a>. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015613">22</a>. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015614">23</a>. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015615">24</a>. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015616">25</a>. Whom have I in heaven but thee?  and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015617">26</a>. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015618">27</a>. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1015619">28</a>. 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.</li>
