New Century Version

Psalms 73:1-9 New Century Version (NCV)

1. God is truly good to Israel,to those who have pure hearts.

2. But I had almost stopped believing;I had almost lost my faith

3. because I was jealous of proud people.I saw wicked people doing well.

4. They are not suffering;they are healthy and strong.

5. They don’t have troubles like the rest of us;they don’t have problems like other people.

6. They wear pride like a necklaceand put on violence as their clothing.

7. They are looking for profitsand do not control their selfish desires.

8. They make fun of others and speak evil;proudly they speak of hurting others.

9. They brag to the sky.They say that they own the earth.
