Sure God is good to Israel, even to the clean in heart. verse 2 But yet my feet had almost slipped, my steps did well nigh start. verse 3 For at the fools I envious was, to see lewd men in peace. verse 4 For without bands through' death they pass their strength doth nothing cease.

verse 5 Like other mean men they are not in toilsome misery: Nor stricken with like plagues are they, as other mortals be. verse 6 Pride therefore like a chain doth fence them on each side about! And like a garment violence doth cover them throughout.
verse 7 Out of the fullness of their fat extended are their eyes: They do enjoy more prosperous state than what their hearts devise. verse 8 Corrupt they are, and wickedly speak guile; they proudly talk. verse 9 Their mouth the heavens doth defy, their tongue through' th' earth doth walk.
