Even to such as are pure in heart.

My steps had well nigh slipped.

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

But their strength is firm.

Neither are they plagued like other men.

Violence covereth them as a garment.

They have more than heart could wish.

They speak loftily.

And their tongue walketh through the earth.

And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

And is there knowledge in the Most High?

And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

And washed my hands in innocency;

And chastened every morning.

Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

It was too painful for me;

And considered their latter end.

Thou castest them down to destruction.

They are utterly consumed with terrors.

So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

And I was pricked in my heart:

I was as a beast before thee.

Thou hast holden my right hand.

And afterward receive me to glory.

And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.

I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge,

That I may tell of all thy works.
