73An Asaph psalm. No doubt about it! God is good— good to good people, good to the good-hearted.H4210H623H430H2896H3478H1249H3824 2But I nearly missed it, missed seeing his goodness.H7272H4592H5186H5186H838H369H8210 3I was looking the other way, looking up to the peopleH7065H1984H7200H7965H7563 4At the top, envying the wicked who have it made,H2784H4194H193H1277 5Who have nothing to worry about, not a care in the whole wide world.H5999H582H5060H5973H120 6Pretentious with arrogance, they wear the latest fashions in violence,H1346H6059H2555H5848H7897 7Pampered and overfed, decked out in silk bows of silliness.H5869H3318H2459H5674H3824H4906 8They jeer, using words to kill; they bully their way with words.H4167H1696H7451H6233H1696H4791 9They're full of hot air, loudmouths disturbing the peace.H8371H6310H8064H3956H1980H776 10People actually listen to them—can you believe it? Like thirsty puppies, they lap up their words.H5971H7725H7725H1988H4325H4392H4680 11What's going on here? Is God out to lunch? Nobody's tending the store.H559H410H3045H3426H1844H5945 12The wicked get by with everything; they have it made, piling up richesH7563H7961H5769H7685H2428 13I've been stupid to play by the rules; what has it gotten me?H2135H3824H7385H7364H3709H5356 14A long run of bad luck, that's what— a slap in the face every time I walk out the door.H3117H5060H8433H1242 15If I'd have given in and talked like this, I would have betrayed your dear children.H559H5608H3644H898H1755H1121 16Still, when I tried to figure it out, all I got was a splitting headache . . .H2803H3045H5999H5869 17Until I entered the sanctuary of God. Then I saw the whole picture:H935H4720H410H995H319 18The slippery road you've put them on, with a final crash in a ditch of delusions.H7896H2513H5307H4876 19In the blink of an eye, disaster! A blind curve in the dark, and—nightmare!H8047H7281H5486H8552H1091 20We wake up and rub our eyes. . . . Nothing. There's nothing to them. And there never was.H2472H6974H136H5782H959H6754 21When I was beleaguered and bitter, totally consumed by envy,H3824H2556H8150H3629 22I was totally ignorant, a dumb ox in your very presence.H1198H3045H929 23I'm still in your presence, but you've taken my hand.H8548H270H3225H3027 24You wisely and tenderly lead me, and then you bless me.H5148H6098H310H3947H3519 25You're all I want in heaven! You're all I want on earth!H8064H776H2654 26When my skin sags and my bones get brittle, GOD is rock-firm and faithful.H7607H3824H3615H430H6697H3824H2506H5769 27Look! Those who left you are falling apart! Deserters, they'll never be heard from again.H7369H6H6789H2181 28But I'm in the very presence of God— oh, how refreshing it is! I've made Lord GOD my home. God, I'm telling the world what you do!H589H2896H7132H430H7896H4268H136H3069H5608H4399
