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