Psalm 73:11-17

New International Version

¹¹ They say, “How would God know?
    Does the Most High know anything?”

¹² This is what the wicked are like—
    always free of care,^(A) they go on amassing wealth.^(B)

¹³ Surely in vain^(C) I have kept my heart pure
    and have washed my hands in innocence.^(D)
14 All day long I have been afflicted,^(E)
    and every morning brings new punishments.

¹⁵ If I had spoken out like that,
    I would have betrayed your children.
¹⁶ When I tried to understand^(F) all this,
    it troubled me deeply
¹⁷ till I entered the sanctuary^(G) of God;
    then I understood their final destiny.^(H)
