Psalm 73
Israel's God is good to His own
those of a pure heart are blessed
even if their feet are almost gone
God keeps them in His safe nest
Seeing the foolish and their wickedness
filled with pride and trouble free
having more than they could wish
hating God with whom they never agree
They show such high arrogance
questioning God's knowledge so high
living as if Jehovah doesn't exist
thinking they're eternal never to die
But the Lord shows us how to understand
by going into the sanctuary of God
and discerning the arrogant's end
destruction and ruin will be their award
God's promise is always continually true
holding and guiding your right hand
to afterwards take you to glory
as in His strength you shall stand
God ends all who are unfaithful
but the faithful He'll not let go, no never
God will hold you in himself so very near
as the strength of your heart and portion forever
(Some thoughts after reading Martyn Lloyd-Jones book on psalm 73.)
Psalm 73 vs. 1-28.
