Old Testament

Psalms 73:4-10 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

4. For still their strength continueth firm;their death of bands is free.

5. They are not toil'd like other men,nor plagu'd, as others be.

6. Therefore their pride, like to a chain,them compasseth about;And, as a garment, violencedoth cover them throughout.

7. Their eyes stand out with fat; they havemore than their hearts could wish.

8. They are corrupt; their talk of wrongboth lewd and lofty is.

9. They set their mouth against the heav'nsin their blasphemous talk;And their reproaching tongue throughoutthe earth at large doth walk.

10. His people oftentimes for thislook back, and turn about;Sith waters of so full a cupto these are poured out.
