1. Yet God is good to Israel,to each pure-hearted one.
2. But as for me, my steps near slipp'd,my feet were almost gone.
3. For I envious was, and grudg'dthe foolish folk to see,When I perceiv'd the wicked sortenjoy prosperity.
4. For still their strength continueth firm;their death of bands is free.
5. They are not toil'd like other men,nor plagu'd, as others be.
