1. Truly God is good to Israel,to the pure in heart.
2. But as for me, my feet almost stumbled;my steps had almost slipped.
3. For I was envious at the boastful;I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4. For there are no pains in their death;their bodies are fat.
5. They are not in trouble as other people;nor are they plagued like others.
6. Therefore pride is their necklace;violence covers them as a garment.
7. Their eyes bulge with fatness;they have more than a heart could wish.
8. They mock and speak with evil oppression;they speak loftily.
9. They set their mouth against the heavens,and their tongue struts through the earth.
