Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
A
Psalm
of
Asaph.
Only
--
good to Israel `is'
God
, to the
clean
of heart. And
I
--
as
a
little
thing,
My
feet
have
been
turned
aside,
Truly
God
is
good to Israel, even
to such
as
are
of a
clean
heart.
As nothing
, have
my steps slipped ,
For
I
have
been
envious
of
the
boastful,
But
as for
me
, my feet
were
almost
gone;
my
steps had
well
nigh
slipped .
The peace
of the wicked I
see,
That
there
are
no
bands
at
their
death,
For
I
was
envious
at
the foolish,
when
I
saw
the
prosperity
of the wicked .
And
their might
`
is '
firm.
For
there
are
no
bands
in
their death:
but
their
strength
is firm.
In
the
misery
of
mortals
they are not ,
And
with
common
men they
are not
plagued.
They are not in
trouble
as
other
men ;
neither
are they
plagued like
other
men
.
Therefore hath
pride encircled
them ,
Violence covereth them as a dress
.
Therefore pride compasseth
them about
as
a
chain;
violence covereth them as a garment
.
Their eye
hath
come
out from
fat.
The
imaginations
of
the
heart transgressed;
Their eyes
stand
out with
fatness:
they
have
more
than
heart could
wish.
They do
corruptly
, And they
speak in
the
wickedness
of
oppression ,
From
on
high
they speak.
They are
corrupt
, and speak wickedly
concerning
oppression :
they speak loftily
.
They have
set in
the
heavens
their mouth, And their tongue walketh in
the earth.
They set their mouth against
the
heavens
, and their tongue walketh through
the earth.
Therefore do
His people return hither ,
And waters of fulness
are wrung out to them.
Therefore his people return hither :
and waters of a
full
cup
are wrung out to them.
And they have
said
, `
How hath
God known
? And is there knowledge in the Most High? '
And they say
, How doth
God know
? and is there knowledge in the most High?
Lo
, these `
are '
the wicked
and
easy
ones
of
the
age
, They have
increased
strength
.
Behold
, these are the ungodly
, who
prosper
in
the
world;
they increase
in
riches
.
Only
--
a
vain
thing!
I have purified
my heart, And I
wash
in
innocency
my hands ,
Verily
I have cleansed
my heart in
vain
, and washed
my hands in
innocency.
And
I
am
plagued
all the day, And my
reproof
`is'
every morning.
For
all the day long
have
I
been
plagued
, and chastened
every morning.
If I have
said
, `
I recount
thus ,'
Lo
, a
generation of Thy sons
I
have
deceived
.
If I say
, I will
speak
thus ;
behold
, I
should
offend
against
the
generation of thy children
.
And
I think
to know this, Perverseness
it `is'
in
mine
eyes,
When
I thought
to know this, it was
too
painful
for
me;
Till
I come
in
to
the sanctuaries
of God ,
I attend
to
their latter
end.
Until
I went
into
the sanctuary
of God ;
then
understood
I their end.
Only,
in
slippery
places
Thou dost
set them ,
Thou hast
caused
them to
fall
to
desolations
.
Surely
thou didst
set them in
slippery
places:
thou castedst
them down
into
destruction
.
How have
they become
a
desolation as in a moment ,
They have
been
ended
--
consumed from
terrors.
How are
they brought
into
desolation ,
as in a moment !
they are
utterly
consumed with
terrors.
As a dream from
awakening
, O Lord, In
awaking
, their image Thou
despisest
.
As a dream when
one
awaketh;
so
, O Lord, when
thou
awakest
, thou
shalt
despise
their image.
For
my heart doth
show
itself
violent
, And my reins prick
themselves,
Thus
my heart was
grieved
, and I
was
pricked
in
my reins .
And
I am
brutish
, and do
not
know.
A beast I
have
been
with
Thee.
So
foolish
was
I, and ignorant:
I
was
as
a beast before
thee.
And
I `
am '
continually with Thee ,
Thou hast laid
hold
on
my right hand.
Nevertheless
I am continually with thee :
thou hast holden
me
by
my right hand.
With Thy counsel Thou
dost
lead
me
, And after
honour
dost
receive me.
Thou
shalt
guide
me
with thy counsel, and afterward
receive me to
glory
.
Whom have I in the
heavens
? And with
Thee
none I
have
desired
in
earth.
Whom have I in heaven
but
thee
? and there
is
none upon
earth that
I
desire
beside
thee
.
Consumed
hath
been
my flesh and my heart ,
The rock
of my heart and my portion `is'
God
to
the
age
.
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but
God
is
the strength
of my heart ,
and my portion for
ever
.
For, lo, those
far from Thee do
perish ,
Thou hast cut
off
every
one,
Who
is
going
a whoring from Thee.
For, lo, they
that
are
far from thee shall
perish :
thou hast destroyed
all
them
that
go
a whoring from thee.
And
I
--
nearness
of
God
to
me
`
is '
good ,
I have placed
in the Lord Jehovah
my
refuge
, To
recount
all Thy works !
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 .
