Psalm 73:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Truly God is good to Israel,to those who are pure in heart.

2. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,my steps had nearly slipped.

3. For I was envious of the arrogantwhen I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4. For they have no pangs until death;their bodies are fat and sleek.

5. They are not in trouble as others are;they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.

6. Therefore pride is their necklace;violence covers them as a garment.
