73:1  God is good to Israel and to those in a natural state of heart.
73:2  And I had almost declined with my feet and my steps would have been outcast as nothing!
73:3  Because I envied the evil when I saw that the wicked had peace.
73:4  Because there is no expectation of their death and their madness is great.
73:5  They are not in the toil of men neither are they taken aside with the sons of men.
73:6  Because of this, contempt has seized them and their evil is covered and their wickedness.
73:7  And their evil comes through like grease and they have done according to the thought of the heart.
73:8  They have conceived and have spoken evil and oppression; they have spoken against The Highest.
73:9  They set their mouths in the sky and their tongue walks in the dirt.
73:10  Therefore my people will return here and they will find for themselves abundantly.
73:11  And they will say, “How does God know?”, and “Is there knowledge in The Highest?”
73:12  Behold, these wicked ones are prosperous in the world and are strong in power.
73:13  And I alone have purified my heart and have washed my hands in purity.
73:14  I have had the plague all day and my reproof in the morning.
73:15  If I said, “I shall do as they”,
73:16  It is evil in my eyes.
73:17  Until I would enter the holy place of God and would discern their end:
73:18  You will appoint for them according to their foolishness and you will cast them down when they are exalted.
73:19  How suddenly they have ended in insensibility and they are finished by tumult!
73:20  It is like waking up when seeing a dream; Lord Jehovah, at cock crow you will despise their image.
73:21  And I am troubled; my heart and my kidneys rage against me.
73:22  And I have been simple and ignorant and I have been a beast with you.
73:23  
73:24  Comfort me in your counsel and lead me after your honor.
73:25  Whom do I have in Heaven with you and whom have I desired in the Earth? For you have held my right hand.
73:26  My heart and my flesh fail; the strength of my heart and my portion is in God for eternity.
73:27  For behold, your distant ones shall be destroyed and you shall destroy all who go astray from you for eternity.
73:28  I have desired to draw near to God; your Name is good to me, Lord Jehovah, my trust, that I may tell all your wonders.
