PSALM 73
The End of the Wicked Contrasted with That of the Righteous.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God certainly is a good to Israel,
To those who are b pure in heart!
2 But as for me, a my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps 1 had almost slipped.
3 For I was a envious of the 1 arrogant
As I saw the b prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no pains in their death,
And their belly is fat.
5 They are a not 1 in trouble like other people,
Nor are they b tormented together with the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore arrogance is a their necklace;
The b garment of violence covers them.
7 Their eye 1 bulges from a fatness;
The imaginations of their heart overflow.
8 They a mock and 1 wickedly speak of oppression;
They b speak from on high.
9 They have a set their mouth 1 against the heavens,
And their tongue 2 parades through the earth.
10 Therefore 1 his people return here,
And a abundant waters are drunk by them.
11 They say, “a How does God know?
And is there knowledge 1 with the Most High?”
12 Behold, a these are the wicked;
And always b at ease, they have increased in wealth.
13 Surely a in vain I have 1 kept my heart pure
And b washed my hands in innocence;
14 For I have been stricken a all day long,
And 1 b punished every morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,”
Behold, I would have betrayed the a generation of Your children.
16 When I a thought of understanding this,
It was 1 troublesome in my sight
17 Until I entered the 1 a sanctuary of God;
Then I perceived their b end.
18 You indeed put them on a slippery ground;
You dropped them into 1 b ruin.
19 How they are 1 a destroyed in a moment!
They are utterly swept away by b sudden terrors!
20 Like a a dream when one awakes,
Lord, when b stirred, You will c despise their image.
21 When my a heart was embittered
And I was b pierced 1 within,
22 Then I was a stupid and ignorant;
I was like an b animal 1 before You.
23 Nevertheless a I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.
24 You will a guide me with Your plan,
And afterward b receive me 1 to glory.
25 a Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And with You, I desire nothing on earth.
26 My a flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the 1 strength of my heart and my b portion forever.
27 For, behold, a those who are far from You will b perish;
You have destroyed all those who 1 c are unfaithful to You.
28 But as for me, a the nearness of God is good for me;
I have made the Lord 1 God my b refuge,
So that I may c tell of all Your works. 1

A Father’s Discipline
4 a You have not yet resisted 1 b to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; 5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“a My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor b faint when you are punished by Him;
6 a For b whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
And He punishes every son whom He accepts.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure; a God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, a of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had 1 earthly fathers to discipline us, and we a respected them; shall we not much more be subject to b the Father of 2 spirits, and c live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, a so that we may share His holiness. 11 a For the moment, all discipline seems not to be pleasant, but painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterward it yields the b peaceful fruit of righteousness. 1

Deliverance from Bondage
1 Therefore there is now no a condemnation at all for those who are b in c Christ Jesus. 2 For a the law of the Spirit of life 1 in b Christ Jesus c has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For a what the Law could not do, 1 b weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in c the likeness of 2 sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the a requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who b do not walk 1 according to the flesh but 1 according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on a the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, b the things of the Spirit. 6 a For the mind 1 set on the flesh is b death, but the mind 1 set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind 1 set on the flesh is a hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are a in the flesh cannot please God.
9 However, you are not a in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God b dwells in you. But c if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10 a If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is 1 alive because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of Him who a raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, b He who raised c Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 1 through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—13 for a if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are b putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are a being led by the Spirit of God, these are b sons and daughters of God. 15 For you a have not received a spirit of slavery 1 leading to fear again, but you b have received 2 a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “c Abba! 3 Father!” 16 The Spirit Himself a testifies with our spirit that we are b children of God, 17 and if children, a heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, b if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him. 1
