New Testament

Psalm 72:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. A Psalm of Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to those who are upright in heart.

2. But my feet were nearly moved; my steps had nearly slipped.

3. For I was zealous over the iniquitous, seeing the peacefulness of sinners.

4. For they have no respect for their death, nor do they have support in their wounds.

5. They are not with the hardships of men, nor will they be scourged with men.

6. Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.

7. Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. They have parted from the affection of the heart.

8. They have thought and spoken wickedness. They have spoken iniquity in high places.

9. They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has traversed the earth.

10. Therefore, my people will be converted here, and fullness of days will be found in them.

11. And they said, "How would God know?" and, "Isn't there knowledge in high places?"
