New Living Translation

Psalms 73:1-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Truly God is good to Israel,to those whose hearts are pure.

2. But as for me, I almost lost my footing.My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone.

3. For I envied the proudwhen I saw them prosper despite their wickedness.

4. They seem to live such painless lives;their bodies are so healthy and strong.

5. They don’t have troubles like other people;they’re not plagued with problems like everyone else.

6. They wear pride like a jeweled necklaceand clothe themselves with cruelty.

7. These fat cats have everythingtheir hearts could ever wish for!
