Psalms 73:11-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

11. The wicked say, “How can God know?Does the Most High know everything? ”

12. Look at them — the wicked!They are always at ease,and they increase their wealth.

13. Did I purify my heartand wash my hands in innocence for nothing?

14. For I am afflicted all day longand punished every morning.

15. If I had decided to say these things aloud,I would have betrayed Your people.

16. When I tried to understand all this,it seemed hopeless

17. until I entered God’s sanctuary.Then I understood their destiny.

18. Indeed, You put them in slippery places;You make them fall into ruin.
