New Testament

Psalms 73:1-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. God is truly good to Israel,to those who have pure hearts.

2. But I had almost stopped believing this truth.I had almost lost my faith

3. because I was jealous of proud people.I saw wicked people doing well.

4. They are not suffering.They are healthy and strong.

5. They don’t have troubles like the rest of us.They don’t have problems like other people.

6. So they wear pride like a necklace.They put on violence as their clothing.

7. They are looking for profits.They do not control their selfish desires.

8. They make fun of others and speak evil.Proudly they speak of hurting others.

9. They brag to the sky.Their mouths gossip on the earth.

10. So their people turn to themand give them whatever they want.

11. They say, “How can God know?What does God Most High know?”

12. These people are wicked,always at ease and getting richer.
