Truly God is good to Israel
Even to such as (No)
Truly God is good to Israel
Even to such as (Who are of a clean heart, okay)
Truly God is good to Israel
Such as are of a clean heart (Too clean)
Truly God is good to Israel
Those who are clean of heart
For me, my feet were almost gone
My steps had waivered and I slipped
He was just envious of the foolish
And sees that there's no bands in their death
And their strength is firm and they're not in trouble and
Neither are they plagued like other men
Therefore, pride covereth them about as a chain
And violence covereth them as a garment
And their eyes stand out with fatness
They have more than the heart can wish
And they're corrupt and speak wickedly (Ha, ha)
He sees all this and then, and then he looks in
And sees into the sanctuary
And he understands their end, you know?
I mean, ha, there's a lot to it
I'm just kinda explain' it
Truly God is good to Israel
Even to such as are of a clean heart
But as for me, my feet were almost gone
My steps had waivered and I slipped
I was envious of the foolish
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked
For there are no bands in their death
Their strength is firm
They're not in trouble as other men
Neither are they plagued like other men
Therefore, pride covereth them about like a chain
Violence covereth them as a garment
Their eyes stand out with fatness
They have more than heart can wish for
They are corrupt and speak wickedly
Concerning oppression, they speak loftily
They set their mouth against the heavens
And their tongue walketh through the earth
Therefore his people return hither
And the waters of a full cup will run out to me
And they say, How does God know?
And, Is there knowledge in the Most High God?
Behold, these are the end of those who prosper in the world
They increase in riches
Verily, I've cleansed my heart in vain
And washed my hands in innocence
For all the day long I have been plagued
And chastened every morning
I say I will speak thus
Behold, I should offend against the generation of our children
I thought to know this, it was too painful for me
Until I went into the sanctuary
Then I understood how their end
Surely, Thou would set them in slippery places
Thou would casteth them down into destruction
How were they brought?
How were they brought?
How were they brought in desolation?
In a moment they are consumed with terror
As a dream of one man
Oh Lord, thou awakest
And thou shall despise their image
'Cause my heart was grieved
And I was pricked in my reins
So foolish was I, I didn't know
I was as a beast before thee
Nevertheless, I am continually with thee
Thou hast holden me by thy right hand
Thou shall guide me with thy council
And afterward receive me to Glory
Whom I have in heaven
Who have I in the earth but you, my Lord?
But you beside me
My flesh and my heart they fail
God is the strength of my heart
And my portion forever
For no men are far from thee that perish
Thou has destroyed those that go a-whorin' against satan
But it good for me to draw near to God
I have put my trust in the Lord
