New International Reader's Version

Psalm 73:1-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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

2. But my feet had almost slipped. I had almost tripped and fallen.

3. I saw that proud and sinful people were doing well. And I began to long for what they had.

4. They don't have any troubles. Their bodies are healthy and strong.

5. They don't have the problems others have. They don't suffer as other people do.

6. Their pride is like a necklace. They put on meanness as if it were their clothes.

7. Many sins come out of their hard and stubborn hearts. There is no limit to their proud and evil thoughts.
