1. Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart!
2. But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped.
3. For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4. For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat.
5. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind.
6. Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them.
7. Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot.
8. They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high.
9. They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth.
