1. Surely God is good to Israel, even to such as are pure in heart.
2. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3. For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6. Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment.
7. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
