NET Bible
"I concluded,“Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure and maintained a pure lifestyle."
— Psalms 73:13, NET Bible
“Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.”
“Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency; ”
“Surely in vain I have cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocence,”
“Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.”
“As for me, I have made my heart clean to no purpose, washing my hands in righteousness;”
“Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.”
Therefore they have more than enough food to eat, and even suck up the water of the sea.
They say,“How does God know what we do? Is the Most High aware of what goes on?”
Take a good look! This is what the wicked are like, those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.
I concluded,“Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure and maintained a pure lifestyle.
I suffer all day long, and am punished every morning.”
If I had publicized these thoughts, I would have betrayed your people.
When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.
