Tired of losing at everything and tired of seeing these unsaved people surpass me at everything.
		
		
	 
God Is My Strength and Portion Forever
A Psalm of Asaph.
73 Truly God is good to Israel,  
    to those who are pure in heart.  
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,  
    my steps had nearly slipped.  
3 For I was envious of the arrogant  
    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.  
4 For they have no pangs until death;  
    their bodies are fat and sleek.  
5 They are not in trouble as others are;  
    they are not stricken like the rest of mankind.  
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;  
    violence covers them as a garment.  
7 Their eyes swell out through fatness;  
    their hearts overflow with follies.  
8 They scoff and speak with malice;  
    loftily they threaten oppression.  
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,  
    and their tongue struts through the earth.  
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,  
    and find no fault in them.[

11 And they say, “How can God know?  
    Is there knowledge in the Most High?”  
12 Behold, these are the wicked;  
    always at ease, they increase in riches.  
13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean  
    and washed my hands in innocence.  
14 For all the day long I have been stricken  
    and rebuked every morning.  
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”  
    I would have betrayed the generation of your children.  
16 But when I thought how to understand this,  
    it seemed to me a wearisome task,  
17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;  
    then I discerned their end.  
18 Truly you set them in slippery places;  
    you make them fall to ruin.  
19 How they are destroyed in a moment,  
    swept away utterly by terrors!  
20 Like a dream when one awakes,  
    O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.  
21 When my soul was embittered,  
    when I was pricked in heart,  
22 I was brutish and ignorant;  
    I was like a beast toward you.  
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;  
    you hold my right hand.  
24 You guide me with your counsel,  
    and afterward you will receive me to glory.  
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?  
    And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.  
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,  
    but God is the strength[
b] of my heart and my portion forever.  
27 For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;  
    you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.  
28 But for me it is good to be near God;  
    I have made the Lord God my refuge,  
    that I may tell of all your works.
