Thematic Bible: Sometimes a stumbling-block to saints


Thematic Bible



When I reasoned, that I might understand this, A vexation, it was in mine eyes:

Righteous, art thou O Yahweh, when I present my pleading unto thee, - Yet, concerning the things that are right, let me speak with thee, - Wherefore hath, the way of the lawless, prospered? Wherefore have all, utter traitors, been at ease?

For I was envious of the boasters, At the prosperity of the lawless, used I to look.

Thou whose eyes are too pure to look with approval on wrong, to respect oppression, canst not endure, - Wherefore, shouldst thou respect the treacherous? Be silent, when the lawless, swalloweth up, one more righteous than he?
