American Standard Version

Psalm 73:2-9 American Standard Version (ASV)

2. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; My steps had well nigh slipped.

3. For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4. For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.

5. They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.

6. Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

7. Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.

8. They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.

9. They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
