Psalm 72:6-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.

7. Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. They have parted from the affection of the heart.

8. They have thought and spoken wickedness. They have spoken iniquity in high places.

9. They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has traversed the earth.

10. Therefore, my people will be converted here, and fullness of days will be found in them.

11. And they said, "How would God know?" and, "Isn't there knowledge in high places?"

12. Behold, these are sinners, and, abounding in this age, they have obtained riches.

13. And I said: So then, it is without purpose that I have justified my heart and washed my hands among the innocent.

14. And I have been scourged all day long, and I have received my chastisement in the mornings.

15. If I were to say that I would explain this: Behold, I would condemn this nation of your sons.
